Rear folding seats too upright

Hi Folks,

Has anyone tried to adjust/modify their folding rear seats (2nd row in a 90, 3rd row in a 110) to make the seat backs less upright?

It's a constant gripe from my kids, especially on late-night trips when they want to go to sleep in the back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Gus

Hi I had the same question a couple of weeks ago and Eduardo in Chile said the he had adjusted his seats by removing the plastic at the hinge on the seat and making some adjustment there.

I hope that someone closer to home might have had a go and can provide a detailed description

Adults find their heads are touching the liner due to being higher and so upright. If they reclined, would be less of an issue

Should one of the sponsors come up with a solution it would be a good seller for all those that have children or use the seats for other passengers.

If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

There is a thread on here somewhere from a while ago on how to do it with photos. Cant remember who it was or the title, but keep looking and you will be sure to find it.

Derek Low from Kuala Lumpar did it and posted photos on here via dropbox. Unfortunately, you can't access them anymore so could be a good idea to mail him direct and try and persuade him to reinstate the photos/instructions for everyone.
