Fixed back seats

Anyone running fixed back seats? I would like to use some Corbeaus with a fixed back. My rear seat may have very limited use by my 5 year old daughter, so limited acess to the rear is ok, but is it even feasable?

Re: Fixed back seats

im sure its feasable. might run into clearance issues with a tall back though. and it might look a little odd.

They are actually about 3" shorter than the procar/scat/private label knock off style I had before.

Re: Fixed back seats

dont think ive ever seen it done. so youre probably gonna need to do a lot of measuring to see if those seats will fit and clear the rear glass and all that.

Re: Fixed back seats

Okay, I think I must have confused you. I am not using these as back seats, they are fixed back, meaning they don't recline or tilt forward. They are not to be used as back seats.

Re: Fixed back seats

as long as you get a seat the physically fits in the car then it should work. the only access to the back seat you have is the tiny sliver thats there before you flip the seat forward.
