Can I get some help identifying these Recaro seats please?
Greetings from very wet and soggy Southern California. Can I get some help identifying these Recaro seats please? Once identified I also need to track down a replacement circular knob for the headrest adjustment, greyhound managed to destroy that when they shipped it to me.
I am somewhat disappointed to have to report that our poodle was not able to help at all here, but she tried. Thanks! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

An LS (Idealsitz) to my eye. Many on here know more than I. For what it’s worth, I believe Recaro is reissuing some of their old offerings. If you can’t find a used knob, Recaro might be able to assist.

Here are a couple of pages from a Recaro catalog that look close. Compare the published dimension with your seats for a tighter match. I've got a pair of LS seats. Yours look the same.

Thank you for all of the responses and great information.
I believe these to be Recaro LSC Idealsitz seats that have been somewhat poorly recovered. The extendable front bottom seat cushion is a key tell, along with location of adjusters. Found this, assuming the listing is correct, for confirmation. I need to source a replacement round knob adjuster, any ideas on that? Thanks again gentlemen. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hard to tell from the angle of the photos, but I think those may have the ‘B’ cushion. I’m not very good at age-spotting but I think yours are probably from the early 80s or maybe late 70s.
