05 Interior Question

Looking to piece new interior together in my Wagon that is being revitalized after changing the engine. Biggest things I want to find is a new glovebox and a center console with the armrest.

1. I have the dark gray interior with airbags in the front seats. What seats will swap in that I may find at the junkyard? What years and what other models should I check for? I want to make sure I don't have airbag lights when/if I change them.

2. Will the rear seats only change out for another wagon or will sedan/Golf seats work?

Nothing is torn or ripped, but everything was so extremely dirty. Even after I cleaned it with a steam cleaner.

1. 03 or newer mkiv style car should be good
2. Wagon only

Steve6, I believe you are incorrect on #2. I think the only difference in the rear seats is the presence or absence of a lock.

Wagons are bolted/screwed down on a hinge, golfs and jettas clip in.

My apologies! Thank you for the clarification!

Rear seat on the Wagon is a 60-40 split, don’t know if sedans have that but my Golf did. If a wagon seat is hard to find you could consider swapping covers. Not sure the fit would be identical of course but why would VW make two nearly identical seats different?

Or a slightly different perspective, I had to seriously wash the rear seat cover on my 1990 Jetta once, went in my mother’s washing machine LOL. It wasn’t that hard to get off and on, just a wrestling match with the cushion and bending some hog clips to release and replace. Looked like new after. But maybe VW has changed attachment methods since then.
