Hello guys,
so I have 407 Coupe with white leather interior.
The problem is that the front seats are kinda worn out.
So i found seats, same color as mine in really nice condition. The problem is that they are from right hand drive car ( and my coupe is LHD).
Since leather interior in 407 coupe has memory option for the driver seat, i would assume that i can't just change the seats.
What are the variants for me then? Changing just the leather covers of the seats?
Changing the electric motors of the seats?

Best Regards

Changing the covers and foam and keeping your old frames sounds like the best option.

Just to finish the thread.
I got better deal for braun leather seats from LHD car.
So

braun leather seats with white interior, wasn't so bad imho, but wathever

And the last step ofc was the dashboard.
Never gonna do it again

Looks really good. It’s nice that you made the whole thing complete, matching. It might have been an awful job to do the dash too, but I admire someone who puts in the extra effort to do things right.

That tan leather interior looks amazing. We didn't get that option in the UK sadly. You did a good job, personally I would have just replaced the seats and door cards. But you did well to go extra step and replace dashboard and headlining! Did you get any creaks / rattles after replacing everything?

 

[Haho]

No, there aren't any rattles noises, I'm surprised.
I had some concerns with the door cards , it is an old french car after all, but everything is done quite solidly.
I was unable to restore the original assembly of the dashboard as some of the wiring harnesses were attached to the old dash board with specific clips that I had to cut out and didnt have other ones to replace them so had to use zip-tie. But for now i dont hear any weird noises from dashbord so its ok.

Next step shoud be the side windows,
I have lots of these like snowflakes things on my side windows.

got new windows( from donor car) that are in way better condition, but I have concerns with the installation and adjustment and that is why I am putting off replacing them

My door cards have been rattling since I bought it. Never understood why the saloon version got more screws, with the coupe being larger and heavier.. didn't!

Zip ties are fine, car manufacturers sometimes use zip ties themselves but as it takes extra time to install and take apart, usually don't! But this matters nothing to you!

Yes, the side glass is quite difficult, do you have access to servicebox? It does show how to do it. However I take the snowflakes as artwork ;-)

 

[Haho]

I just checked it what servicebox is and saw a few clips on youtube. Really nice drawings and diagrams.
Also I found some torrents, so i guess i could instal it, even if the latest edition is from 2013.

Thank you for the advice.
