Description
Designed to fit EU driver seats in VW Transporter T5 to T6.1 (2003–2024), including the Caravelle, this swivel is compatible with a Kiravans double passenger swivel and comes complete with all the fixings needed for a straightforward installation on a standard seat.
Please note: This swivel requires a handbrake modification kit to be fitted and RIB's basic handbrake modification kit is included with your order as standard. However, you can choose to upgrade to a Kiravans handbrake kit.
Benefits of upgrading to a Kiravans Handbrake Kit:
The Kiravans handbrake kit offers a more refined, OEM-style solution, with a 4 mm steel bracket to eliminate flex, the ability to lower seat height by 20 mm, and includes a lower plastic cover for a neater finish. Overall, it’s a more premium design - stronger, neater, and engineered to look factory-fit in your camper.
Please don’t skip the details! Read through the full compatibility and technical information below to make sure this swivel will fit your van.

How To Rotate The RIB Swivel
- To rotate the seat, the engine must be turned off, vehicle put in gear and the handbrake released temporarily.
- If your seat has height adjustment, you may need to raise it slightly before rotation to avoid it catching on anything.
- If you have a plastic handbrake cover then you may have to remove it and replace with our fabric slip-on cover.
- Once the seat is facing the rear, re-engage handbrake.
