[EF-9]

HEY I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT SEATS WOULD FIT ON MY 91 CIVIC HATCH?
I BOUGHT SOME 89 CRX SEATS AND IT DIDNT MATCH WITH THE RAILS

I'm sure any seats would fit ON your 91 civic hatch.







Should have posted this thread about 3 weeks ago. I had some mint 91 crx Si seats with rails.

Ok, do you mean...In your garage?! lol Not sure if you caught the smartass'ness in my first post, with the "ON" comment...lolol



Thats because 88 and 89 are not compatable with 90 and 91 models. Thats why you seats didn't fit. You have to find some seats that are from a 90 or 91 to fit your car, unless you go making custom rails or something.

You can always make the rails work to pretty much any seat if you really wanted the seats.

From H-T:


To the 999,662,876,543,321,088,543,678,049 people that is going to ask this again........

The answer is (ONCE AGAIN) you will need to make modofications to ANY SEAT (civic, integra, s2000, etc) that is not in your year i.e.
EF seats are year specific as you will find that ALOT of things are this way.

**88-89 Civic seats are ONLY interchangable with 88-89 Civic seats.
**88-89 CRX seats are ONLY interchangable with 88-89 CRX seats.
**90-91 Civic seats are ONLY interchangable with 90-91 Civic seats.
**90-91 CRX seats are ONLY interchangable with 90-91 CRX seats.

Do you get my drift....... CRX and Civic seats ARE NOT interchangable. For example: 90 Civic HB seats WONT fit into a 90 CRX and vice verse. Seats are one of those year specific things. And once again, ANY other seats will have to be modified.

I put '89 Civic HB seats in my '90 hatch and I had to swap seat pans and then I reversed the seats (drivers on pass side and vice verse). I didn't have make any brackets or anything. My own write up for what I did: (this is copied from back in Jan. '04)

In my case I had 88/89 Civic Si seats going into a '91 Civic Std.
*Took the seat apart (2 halves top seat bottom seat
*I took the rails off my STD seats.
*Took some hog pliers and removed the clips holding the fabric onto the seat.
*pulled the fabric back (not off)
*pull the cushions away from the seat pan
**Did the same thing for the Si seats**

Then,
I took the Si seat cushions and put them onto my '91 Civic Seat pans. I noticed that most of the Honda seat pans are the same, but mount in a different spot. So I just used my seat pans.

I got part of my idea from a guy on HT that put s2000 seats in his civic by swapping the seat pans. Then Usdm 4g vtec did something similar. I put 2 and 2 together and Voila!!
I am so happy though. Those vinyl seats nearly cut me up. It took me about 1.5 hrs on one seat. Then, when I figured out how easy it was, the second seat took me about 30 minutes.

HOLLA if you have questions about how I did this.

This is the thread that gave me the inspiration to do the seat pan swap. He gives you a general idea of how easy it is. I had never done anything like this. With the EF seats you may have to switch the seats around (pass & driver) when you get ready to put the seats back together you WILL see what I mean. And sometimes it works out better that way, especially in my case because the passenger seat was in better condition than the drivers seat. Anyways, on to the link:

maybe this will become a sticky one day Everytime I come across an illustation or thread with CORRECT (not hearsay) info about installing seats, I will add it hear. Or if anyone know links add them here so that NOOBs can stop asking this question.
