Estate rear seats
« on: 15 June 2013, 11:19:53 »

ive been wondering about as to why the an interior of a saloon wont fit an estate..?
same number of seats i know the saloons have the rear side bolsters, but other than that what else prevents the inter changing of saloon-estate seats..??
cheers

Totally different design. They won't fit. At all. Ever. :y

Only way they might, would be if you welded the complete inner structure of a saloon into an estate :-\

Probably easier to just fit estate rear seats to it ::)

Saloons out number the estates by about 20 to 1, and have done from new :-\

Just one of those things ::)

Loads really...

Seat belt mounting in an estate is in the seats not the parcel shelf but in the seat back, estate seats don't have side bolsters as you know, estate seats have folding head rests, basically all the fittings are different and the seats are a totally different shape etc etc...

I've got an ex-plod estate in the barn that has leather seats I fitted a year or so back, and without major mods saloon ones would not have gone in at all.

They probably did when new, but if around here is typical, then estates are way more common. Which is often the case with big saloons/estates as they age. Consider the number of Granada, Volvo or even Cortina estates that are left. An estate is so much more useful that spending money keeping them going is actually viable. Which is rarely the case with a saloon.
It's why my Omega is an estate. If I could justify a large, expensive to keep saloon it would be a Jag or a Lexus.
