fastbird232 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 How hard would it be to post it once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 it's as simple as getting the seat from a j/y removing 4 bolts and then putting the new seat in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 a little more on that.... the cars that have a fold down seat ALSO have a plastic surround that protects the sharp edges in the opening... at least on the gen 1 W's, which includes the 94 cs in your profile..... simple as that, you need to snatch the black plastic surround, and the metal clips that rivit to the body that the palstic suround screws to, in addition to the seat.

Cam'ron Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 details but yeah it is nothing more than a seat swap, but the rubber surround is a good idea if for nothin more than looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToroToro Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Are you serious? It's easy as HELL. You dont need pictures, but I'll post some anyways. You can see the said plastic trim in this pic of mine... You just pull those little round clips out, and it comes off. Those clips are a bitch to pull out though. Side note, I have the plastic suround thing, as well as the whole rear seat back if you want it. But you will need to pick it up ( the seat at least ) I bent the shit out of the little metal clips to snap the surround to, but you really dont need them anyways.

Crazy K Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 details but yeah it is nothing more than a seat swap, but the rubber surround is a good idea if for nothin more than looks 95+ montes and luminas have a slightly different rear seat surround... which will be fun for me.. since I have 95+ seats from a lumina in my 92.

Robby1870 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I dont know about others, but GP coupe fold down back seats (or aleast on my 90 coupe) is a little wider than a GP sedan. Thats just my experience. It still fit, but it looked kinda weird as there was a little gap on each side where the seat was buldged out.

Thats just my experience. It still fit, but it looked kinda weird as there was a little gap on each side where the seat was buldged out. good point. this is important.... the coupe and sedan seats are different... I've dissected some junk ones.... they ALL have the same frame sedans and coupes (iirc gen 1 and gen 1.5 too) but the coupes are narrower than the sedan seats. the difference is made up by the width of the foam packing on the edges of the seat. For example, to my knowledge no 95+luminas have fold down rear seats, but the same upholstry pattern used in my car is in monte carlos... so I would salvage the foam inserts from a gen 1 sedan fold down seat and do an upholstry wrap on the seat sides(using upholstry from my current rear seat) so the seat would look correct. I would also have to grab the gen 1 opening surround, and the opening may require a little cutting for fitment Dammit... I only have seen one of these seats at the j/y and i missed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 If you don't have the surrond, where does the seatback latch to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 The latches are on the seatback. The surround is only there to cover the sharp edges around the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 they aren't that sharp. I didn't have a fold down rear and installed one and I don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see tons of Ws there all the time with full sets of seats....I really have never looked for the fold down ones, but there are bucket sets there all the time from GPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey b Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 blkint, what color and material did you find. I say that is too steap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Seems a bit much to me too, considering I got four seats and a console for 30 bucks more. But...I hardly ever see CS coupe fold down rear seats, especially in cloth. What color are you looking for anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateallmustangs Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I pulled leather seats from a 95 4 door cutlass international. 2 things... The bolt holes do not line up on the bottom at all. , I managed to get the top portion on but it was still somewhat tight.Whole your at it take the top speaker surround thing because its also different.. I'll post some pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
