vert rear seat replacement
I am aware that 4th gen seats will fit nicely in 3rd gen, but how about the rear seat in the vert. Will the rear seat also fit out of a 4th gen? If so, does the seat need to be from a 4th vert or can it be from any body?

Re: vert rear seat replacement
It appears as so the answer is yes. Doing a search found this topic. It provides some details as well as the last post did it in a vert.

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/in...seats-fit.html (97 rear seats fit in a 3rd gen?)

Another good link . . .
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/in...gen-seats.html (4th gen seats)

It seems that the biggest concern isn't if it's a vert or not, but whether is the 3rd gen rear seat was originally split or not. If it's split, then there may be an issue dealing with a bar that runs across the driveshaft hump. But that's all covered in the above.

I've done the split to solid 4th gen rear seat conversion & the support for split seats wasn't a problem. I just left it there.

Re: vert rear seat replacement
The fourth gen rear seat back is about one inch shorter than the 3rd gens, not a big deal but there will be gap above the seat back that wasnt there before.
