passenger seat and driver seat the same?

I know the controls and plastic covers are the same but are the seats essentially the same?

can I take a good passenger seat and swap the controls over and install as a driver's seat?

other then the controls the seats appears to be identical to me. has anyone ever tried to swap them out?

There any issues with seatbelt or airbags?

Yup - I think due to the airbags they are 'handed':

Where did you get that microfiche? I searched all over for one.

Is 21 the seat frame and 19 the seat cover or is 21 the drive seat and 19 the passenger?

Hell if i can just buy a replacement cover that would be great

What about just the seat cover? Could i take a good seat cover from a passenger seat and put it on the drivers?

Are those part numbers the same?

Depends, if we have side airbags then no. Pretty sad I dont recall if we do but if we do then no.

19 is the cover.

But when you see Honda UK prices(!) you'll take it to a local upholsterers instead:

You are correct. $800 just for the bottom seat cover?
Looks like I will be going to the upholsterer soon.

I only need the seat bottom for the driver's side.
I figured the left and right would be the same.

This is what I was thinking. Can anyone confirm for the 2005 RL?
I can see the back support being different but I wouldn't think the bottom would be different.

What about just putting on nice seat covers? Any known good ones out there?
I was quoted $800-$1,000 for both front seats reupholstered....not going to do that but need to do something with the leather cracking like it is.
