Polo saloon rear bench Does it fit a coupe

[dub-disaster]

Ok this maybe the worlds dumbest question but does the rear bench from a polo saloon fit a polo coupe ??

The bit you sit on is a straight swap but the back support is totally different altogether. The sallon has a welded in sheet of steel behind the rear seat and the  back rest has 2 hooks that slot into this.You could take the cover and sponge off and try and get it onto a coupe/hatch frame though.

Not really. Thought about this myself back in the day (2002). The saloon has a fixed back seat, not folding like the coupe, but I was pretty confident it could be done. When I went for the leather retrim I took along a saloon rear, just the seat back, (cost me £3 from a scrappy), but the trimmer wasn't happy with it, so in the end he removed the headreasts and fitted them to the coupe seat back.

Tried to include a photo but been having problems. Look at my pictures in ongoing projects, there's one there.

Just outa intrest how much was your retrim I'm thinkng of either getting just the rear seats done or just the front done ??

I paid £750 for front and rear seats and a steering wheel, but that was back in 2002 (door cards in 2010 maybe). Another local trimmer quoted me cheaper, but he wanted to use vinyl for some bits, I wasn't happy with that and thought the guy was a cock, although he does have a decent reputation.
