ABOUT KIRAVANS VW T5/6 DOUBLE SWIVEL:
The T5/T6 double swivel is one of our finest products. It gives us a warm glow hearing our customers stories about how it has transformed their van living spaces - without losing all the benefits of the bench seat up front.
The swivel mechanism on a Kiravans swivel is very different to other swivels. It uses a cunning slide and swivel approach so you will need to open the side door to allow the full range of movement. The seat is held securely in position while driving by 4 x specially engineered locking bolts.
Safety
Our double seat swivel is fully tested and has passed all the requirements of TÜV Deutschland. This involved 'in-vehicle' pull testing and a SLED test in Germany. The TÜV certificate can be downloaded below.
In the UK it has also passed seat belt anchorage safety tests conducted by STATUS (The Specialist Testing Facility at Manchester Met Uni) using a pull test on a specialist test rig to EC Directive 76/115/EEC as amended by 2005/41/EEC.

Includes Floor Plate & Carpet
What is it? The floor plate & carpet consists of a tin sheet with a perfectly cut piece of carpet to go on top. It fits inside the T5/T6 double seat box. A simple idea that makes a big difference to your under seat storage. Thanks to one of our customers for the clever idea!
What does it do? When you fit your double seat swivel (in a T5/T6) you'll notice that the swivelling mechanism is visible inside your seat base, with a nut sticking up and places that small things could get trapped. This product means no gaps, nowhere for things to get trapped, and (thanks to the carpet) fewer rattles in your van.
Fitting Instructions:
- Simply install the double swivel as normal following our fitting guide & video
- Place the tin sheet on top of the swivel
- Fix the seat on top of the metal sheet and bolt it down (The tin sheet will now be sandwiched between the seat and swivel system
- Finally, pop the carpet on top of the metal sheet inside the seat base...
- Hey presto, no gaps, nowhere for things to get trapped, and no rattles!

ABOUT RIB VW T5/6 Single Seat Swivel, Driver
To rotate the seat, the engine must be turned off, vehicle put in gear and the handbrake released temporarily. Once the seat is facing the rear re-engage handbrake. For seats fitted with up/down height adjustment, you will find that you probably need to pump up the seat height to allow the seat to rotate without the grey plastic trim around the base catching on anything.
T5 only: If you have a plastic handbrake cover then you may have to remove it and replace with our fabric slip-on cover.
Notes on fitting:
Please note on some vans it appears that the plastic handbrake covering rubs on the swivel and may need to be removed.
Features & Compatibility
- Swivel plate fits between the base and seat slider rails on normal seats
- Automatically locks in place facing forward for driving
- European TÜV safety approval
- Seat height increase: Approx 43mm
- Designed for the VW T5/T6/T6.1 & Caravelle
- Not compatible with heated seats and airbags
