seat upgrade question

Post by Corsa84 »

if i was to replace my standard front seats in my 3 door with say bucket seats for example how would i get passengers in the back?

i mean standard seats flip forwards but im not sure how fixed seats or even reclining seats would allow access to the rear?

any ideas? :)
I'd rather push a Corsa,than drive anything else. : )

If the passengers are flexable you could slide your seat forward as far as poss and then push them in. Problem with bucket seats is that they are very large (well, they are put against a standad seat) so it would be difficult for people to get in. It would only be good if you had a 5 door. I personally wouldn't bother with them, but that's my opinion.


Hope this helps,

Mike.

i agree with fixed buckets been a pain but are there any seats that will flip forwards like standard seats to overcome this problem? thanks.

I wouldn't really bother with them. Unless you've got another motor, you wont have access to the rear seats. I dont really know of any seats that fold, as buckets are fixed. I'm sure i've seen bucket seats that flip up, but that dont really make any difference as the roof of corsas are low and the seats get stopped by that so you only really have a few inches to play around with. As I said, do it with a second car but dont with your only car.

Hope this helps,

Mike.
