No third rows in a Gen I in the US. None it Gen II until 94.



Are you sure?

Somebody should check under the carpet of their Gen I LWB and see if there are weld-nuts for the seat brackets to bolt into. If not, then this probably wasn't a US option. My pics of Burtha, while not specifically focused on that area, don't look like there is a bolt down location in the area of where the seat tracks are.

If it uses the tie-down points, the bolts are 2mm smaller in diameter than the seat bolts. Not that the seat would break free in a crash and kill all the occupants in the entire vehicle forward of the rear seat (which has intigrated seatbelts which will go flying with the seat). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I'm just saying that the bolts are smaller. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

And the fold-down aspect won't work with the rear hatch closed. Look close at the picture and you'll see that the entire backrest sits further back than the rear bolt-down location. The tie-down points are at the very rear of the vehicle.

I can't say for sure that this isn't legit, but if it is, it sure is a bad design. This actually looks more like someone took a 3rd row seat from a Caravan and built their own brackets to make it fit a Gen I.

If so, they get props for creativity, but slapped in the head for execution. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
