60/40 split rear seat swap question
Does anyone know if the 60/40 split seats can be swapped in to a car that doesn't have them?
I'm thinking of replacing the rear seat in my car if I can find a split rear at a junk yard in good shape. I've got an '08 and assume at least the '07 ones are compatible. Thanks! |

well, I don't know about fitmet but I have the 60/40 rear seat and it is awesome.
they will recline independently of one another and they will slide up about 6-8" also. it makes it nice when you are getting groceries. Amazing what a difference a few inches can do for you (yup, I said that). they also do the lay flat thing (well probably 10° or so). they are really nice if you can find one. |

Do they fit? Yes. Perfectly.
There are more lower attachment points with the 60/40 than there are with the solid bench. You will need to cut through the carpet to access the extra nut locations. There is a thread on here somewhere pertaining to a 60/40 swap. They independantly slide fore/aft, and will lay perfectly flat when the seats have been slid all the way forward. You will end up with a different fabric on the 60/40 as they only came in the RS trim, which had differenct interior fabric than non-RS models. I was fortunate enough to obtain all the seats from a wrecked RS, so I now have a 60/40 with matching front seats. Will you find one in a junk yard? Nice dream.

Statistically, since the RS is relatively rare vs non-RS models, the chances of snagging one at a wrecker anywhere are slim. BTW, the seats are put in mine are from a '10, so you've got '06-'11 to choose from. Actually, now that I think of it, I think the LE received 60/40 when the facelift was introduced in '09.

WeeYari, The split seats do indeed recline. You have to move them forward (from the utmost back position) to then recline them.
Beef, given your alias, the hilarious comment about the extra inches makes sense. |

First, things might be different in Canada; but here in the States the fabric on the 60/40 seat is not different than the bench version.
Secondly, my bench does recline albeit slightly (a few inches). It is one of those things that few Yaris owners are aware of, but it is adjustable. Lastly, yes the bench seat can be swapped for a split one; but they are not easy to find as you might think and the possibility of finding a good one in a salvage yard is very slim...

Every sentence of Beef's post has a double meaning . I imagine he intended it that way. |
