Re: Recaro Idealsitz
I think all were like that. However, one of your seats (RHS I think) has non-standard runners, so I'm wondering whether those were screwed into the existing holes (5 per runner) as pictured below, or more holes were drilled into the seat bottom frame by the fitter? Would you be able to check?coomo wrote:Both adjusters being on right side.

If possible, can you please slide the lower rails off completely to make the upper rails visible and take a picture?

Re: Recaro Idealsitz
They look very similar to my slightly later Recaro "Turbo" which apparently was the USA branding for Recaro LX or something - but I can confirm those are incredibly comfortable. You simply don't want to get out of them.Lightweight_911 wrote:.
