Has anyone replaced their front seats with Toyota Sienna 2nd row seats? Cloth or vinyl? Year?
Opinions, comments?

Recently did ours from a 98 or 99 limited sienna. Tan leather fully folds flat. Each seat has a cup holder. Nice quality leather and easy to install. Junk yard wanted 17 bucks per seat. A very nice upgrade. I can email you some photos.

I had to get some steel angle from tractor supply to make a frame that bolts to the seat base. No welding at all.

I have a new pair(2016) with integrated shoulder belts, arm rests both sides, sitting here but haven't figured a good way to mount them. They mounted to a side sliding track so mounting them to a swivel base needs some real thought. The force of the belts will go through the swivel and base so it will really have to be robust in design.
Sorry, no real help but I'd check out the mounting method used by the OEM and figure how to mount them. On another point, they don't have a fore and aft slide either.

There are aftermarket slides available. Also might be possible to get the rails out of the floor of the donor vehicle.
The seats are also available with foot rests......eBay has them new from wheelchair conversion values. Pricy though.

Another *really* old thread bump - I’m also caught up...

I installed middle row 2003 Sienna seats in our GMC:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g6879-sienna-seats.html

Cloth, dual armrests and built in cupholders. I used aftermarket rotating bases (that were under my old FlexSteel seats) and we welded together an adapter to line everything up.

We LOVE them. So much better than the FlexSteels...
