Rear Seats in my Touring... Yes, it is doable.
Hi Guys,
i wanted to share some amazing info with you all and I am debating pulling the trigger as we speak.
There is a company in Germany that fits the rear seats back into the Touring (can also do isofix) and is safety tested and approved in Germany. Info to follow shortly.
It takes a maximum of 5 days to do the work.
stay tuned

ANYTHING IS DOABLE.
you can add child seat in the trunk too. and no, I am not joking, I had that... and CHP was not amused at all
but let say you added that
and god forbid you have an accident, you may not have ins coverage, especially if the accident is major or fatal. lots of finger pointing.... (this is USA , ROW may differ)

eventhough the equipments itself are homolofated you will require new car homologation with these homologated pieces
otherwise goodbye insurance with all the consequences
nevertheless the are safer places for children than a 911

There is a leather to sample set of 991 seats, 18 way front and rear seats on eBay. They are out of a cab so the rear might be different, I don’t know, but if someone is looking for parts ....

only two seats.
wife and I sit front, I would drive with three ppl, sister (she was 25 at the time) in the hatch no seat no belt... yes insanity runs in our family, 40 miles to get Chinese desserts.
needless to say I was WAY over the speed limit.
now I am slightly smarter and no longer put her in the trunk.

There's a fella on pff.de that got the parts machined. That paved the way for rear seatbelts. https://www.pff.de/index.php?thread/...ng/&pageNo=562

No LATCH as that apparently would imply soldering.
My biggest issue regarding the rear seats and kids safety is the lack of side airbags and proper neck protection. Neither would be any different with this solution.
Eventually the rear seats will be abandoned, IMO, for the reason above. For now, I carry my kids in the back of my cab without issues. I hope the OP is successful here in the US. Keep us posted!

If you aren't in the USA and don't need the LATCH connectors (for child seats which use them) then yes it's possible. (as anything is possible with enough time/money)
I'm curious to see how it would affect resale. Positive, neutral, or negative? Modifications to P-cars are generally always unfavorably viewed. Normally the best option is to always return things to stock before selling, but it might be hard in this case.
