I want to reserve a window seat of Eurostar. But the SNCB reservation or Rail Planner app disabled to choose seat preference.

I can choose window or aisle if Thallys is choosen. So it seems not possible to choose seat of Eurostar.

So I am wondering to try reserve first without selecting seats. After e-ticket comes, can I change it to window seat? And how can be change?

Thank you for reply. And I do it once again and solved it.

Its now possible to change seat at eurostar.com, after purchasing at SNCB for a random seat.

I did these a few months ago, but it never works.

A note of caution. I made my first trip by Eurostar recently. Some of the window seats do not line up well with the windows and, even if they do, a lot of the scenery is hidden by cuttings, tunnels and sound barriers, particularly in England.

OK, that was apparently just a temporary problem.
