Scopema swivel bases for the Crafter and MAN TGE, 2017 on
Our VW Crafter swivel seat base is the Scopema (RIB) swivel base: it turns your original driver and passenger cab seats to face into the living space of your 2017 on VW Crafter or MAN TGE.

Questions
- Does the handbrake get in the way?
- On the driver side, yes: the Crafter and MAN TGE handbrake sits where the seat needs to turn, so a handbrake adaptor lowers the lever and lets the seat clear it. The passenger side needs no modification. Tell us your handbrake type when you order and we make sure you have the right Scopema adaptor.
- How much does the seat rise?
- About 43 mm: one of the lower-profile bases on the market, so headroom and your reach to the wheel and pedals are barely affected.
- Which vans and seats does it fit?
- The 2017 on VW Crafter and the MAN TGE (the same platform), right-hand drive. It suits the standard cab seats and is fine with seat heating and seat airbags. It won't fit electrically adjusted or air-suspended seats.
- Are both seats included?
- This is the pair of swivel bases, driver and passenger. The seats themselves aren't included: the bases swivel your van's existing cab seats.
- Can I fit them myself?
- Yes. They are a bolt-in job for a competent home converter, fitting between the seat and its existing rails with the supplied bolts. The driver-side handbrake adaptor adds a little time. We can also fit them as part of a VANZ conversion.
