    2 door l body rear seats in a 4 door omni

    I have a set of rear 2 door seats I put in the omni yesterday

    The problem is the latches that hold the seat up dont match.

    What's the trick to getting this to work?

    You mean the seat tracks aren't the same? The two door seat tracks will put the seat lower in a 4 door car. I always do that for more leg room in my cars.

    He is talking back seats, not front. Good to know about the tracks though.

    Yea I have the fronts and they fit fine. Its the back of the back seat latch that does not match.

    You have to put all the latching hardware and package shelf from the 4 dr seat back on the 2 dr seat back.
    The seat back cloth covers where the holes need to be drilled but there should be dimples in the metal under the cloth to guide you.
    Try not to get the cloth wound up in the drill while drilling her.
    I haven't done it in years but that's what I remember.

    Thanks

    Okay good to know.

    This car came with zero interior so I will have to hunt down that hardware. That should be about impossible to find.

    Actually it shouldn't be that hard to find. If necessary I could probably supply the stuff needed but someone closer should have it all.

    Thanks
