A couple week ago I put my hands on a wrecked 2005 Echo RS that someone was parting out and I picked up the seats to do a swap in my 04 Liftback 2 door Echo.

Seats were not very clean and with some small holes here and there but there is not a ton of RS in pieces in my area no my choices are limited.


Stock ugly regular seats.

Back seat ( not the backrest ) on the 2 door and 4 doors are different so I had to send both bottom part to have someone modify it and swap the covers on it so now I have RS 4 DR seat cover ( back ) on non RS 2DR seat foam .

Man... You don't need to give to someone to modify them.
When I did mine back then was using an XACTO knife to trim the excess so the seat sits flush like original 3 doors

Bah , there's some stuff I'm not good at or never did + I had no tool to clip back the rods under the seat. :iono:

I want to replace my stock seats with a Corbeau Touring seat, but cannot find mounting brackets to fit my car. The Echo from 2000-2005 seems to be a bit of a ghost. I cannot even find Chilton or Haynes repair manuals!
Does anyone know of someone that makes conversion brackets?
Do the slider rails actually unbolt, or are they welded?

Would echo rs seats fit in a yaris?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm looking into seats for my 2007 that have more side support and, most importantly, have adjustable height.

The echo RS seats do not fit the Yaris. They bolt on different positions on the floor.

How about you look for the Yaris RS seats? Though, I always thought the normals seats have the same type of support on the Yaris whether it is the base model or RS....
