Hi, I just got some S14 seats and after a lot of cleaning they are pretty darn nice. Anyway, I didn't know that the rear seat was so different. I've seen S13's with the S14 rear so I know it can be done. Can anyone tell meif it's just a matter of switching the fabric and some clever reupholstering. Any help? thanks.

the rear s14 seat is too wide. As hard as I tried, I couldn't make the rear s14 seat fit into my s13 hatch, so I just left my stock s13 rear seat the way it was.

There is a recent thread about this, search for "S14 seat all around" or something like that.

I've searched up and down and there is nothing about the rear seat install. I remember seeing one but that was a long time ago. I think with some time and a lot of work I can make the cloth go over my stock seat. Either me or someone at an upholstry shop and $100

I got the seats in. I thought I'd put up pictures. Not very hard to do at all.

Here is the rear. I did it a bit differently than the link that was given. Instead of getting metal and cutting I just bought a 3" 5/16 bolt and a nylon spacer and bolted it up just like factory. Way better than the tan interior it started with.
