Corrado seats in a 1991 cabriolet? HELP!

Sean · #1 (**permalink**) 03-20-2005, 07:28 AM

Hi everyone - newbie posting here, great site by the way!
I've got a 1991golf cabriolet, what i'd like to do is fit rear seats from a corrado into the back of the cab. Do any of you know if this can be done and if so, what's involved?
Any help is appreciated!

Cheers!

pretty sure the back seat is too big.

No measurements unfortunately, but i am going to try.
The idea came from when I had 3 people sitting in the back of the cab and it was a really tight fit. I thought it could be a pretty cool mod to fit the rear corrado seats with the centre armrest. Just an idea! I have spoken to one guy on the internet who said that he has seen it done before, but he didn't know exactly what was involved.

I saw a MKII recently that had the rear in it. It was custom upholstered though so I am not sure what else they did to make it fit.

Hey I am pretty sure you could do it, because now a days anything is almost capable of bein done. Oh and by the way your car is MK2.

Its quite a popular mod for a Mk2. Here's the look i'm trying to achieve.

I've been told the seats are approximately 44 inches wide so i'm going to check that against the cab a bit later on. I'll keep ya posted.
