Is there any way to swap over the electric seats to standard seat with a lever for the hight adjustment rather than a button

Would have thought they just bolt in when going from Elec to man? Seat anchorage points are fundamental to the chassis for crash safety so tend not to change.
Its harder going man to elec.

Can I ask why you're doing this please? The electric seats in mine seem to sit me too high, even on the lowest setting, I feel like I'm looking under the top of the windscreen and it's adding discomfort to my dodgy neck caused from awful posture hunching over a desk for 20 years. I wonder if something could be "taken-out" (a motor or shim or something) to give me another 10mm of drop. I'm only 5'9 in trainers too so I'm only average height! Switching to a manual adjuster would be good if it could give me this little extra.

Cheers

Is the height adjustment not part of the seat chassis that you'll be swapping over with the (manual) seat? Like the motors are on the electric seats?

Not sure I understand what you want to do?
Though you just wanted to swap your electric seats for manual ones?

Definitely some clarification needed. I thought it was to keep the current electric seats in place but swap only the elec height adjustment for a manual function?

The manual and electric seats have different frames.
Unless someone has done it? I would say doubtful.
I would look for a manual Cupra seat?
