Viano w639 floor mats

[Bmundy]

Hi All

I have a 2012 Viano in 8 seat configuration. Does anyone know if the rear mats I need are different for the 8 seat version (2x3 rear bench seats) to the 7 seat version (1x3 seat bench + 2xcaptains chairs)?

All I can find on eBay is conference layout (seats facing each other) and all facing forward but no mention of 7 or 8 seat config.

Thanks in advance

I tried that, they quoted £200 but couldn't tell me if mine were different to the 7 seat layout. I want to order a set from eBay but want to make sure they fit first

Is 8 seats legal? I always thought that the Viano was limited to 7. The mats in our Viano which has 6 seats plus table and came with it when new only work with the seats facing forwards. Turned to face each other the table is blocked by the mats from sliding along the rails. I understood that there were no other options.

Yes 8 seats was a factory option. I believe 7 was standard but you could opt for 4 capt seats for 6 seat or 2 x 3 bench for 8 seat config.

Are you sure as you can have 2 x 3 seat bench with the Double front plus drivers in the Traveliner!! But the front "Double" I'd actually class as a 1 3/4...

That would be a 9 seat config and you are referring to the Vito.

I am referring to the Viano in 8 seat. Driver + passenger + 2 x 3 rear bench

Didn't know that 8 seats were an option. Always thought though that the bench seats were too constricting and heavy. Our first Viano had row 2 3xseats but didn't like them. Much prefer our current 6 seater much more room. Any way doesn't driving an 8 seater require you to have taken some official course? Driving the school mini-bus certainly did.

We opted for the 8 seater as gives us more flexibility.

You can drive an 8 seater on standard licence.
