Coupé backseats in Limo/sedan?

Postby way3000 on Mon Apr 25, 2011 6:03 pm

Is it possible, and relatively easy to install the Coupé backseats into a Sedan/Limo version? (4 doors)

I've accidently traded myself into a pair of sportseats, and a matching backseat, problem is the backseat dosen't fit in my sedans. It's split into two back-lean parts, two side parts and a rump-part. (guessing it's the coupé one)

When taking out the original backseat it's plug and play with only two "clamp points" not a split seat.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks!

It sounds like you're right about it being a coupé.
I'm not sure about the bottom piece but the back pieces that fold down mount require two tabs with hole in the middle, one on each side of the car as well as a latch piece in the middle for them to pivot on... and two catches on the parcel shelf for the seats to lock to.

I dare say it would be possible to fit them but not easy. At very least I'd say you'd need to find a wrecked coupé to cut the middle latch and top catches out of.

Thanks, it's a quite old post now, but I'm going to say it is possible, but I won't recommend it, it's the money worth to just sell it and buy a seat that will fit :)
