Title: Estate - Ultima Rear Seats
Post by josswallace on Jun 18^th, 2009, 10:13am

I have had some feedback from the list to the effect that the rear seat does not lift up and fold forward as in the saloon, therefore making it impossible to have a level car bed for the whole length.

Looking on the site the seat workshop manual does not mention the fact that the rear seat cushion on the estate does not fold forward, but I can't see any straps on mine.

Does any one know whether you could install part or all of a back seat from the saloon to rectify this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

The rear squab certainly does fold forward. You may need to ease the front seats forward a little to enable the backs to fold fully flat. The worse problem is getting the seat belt fittings up again when you replace the rear squab!!. I have an Ultima estate. Mike. ;)

hi mike

the seat base indeed folds forward, but it's not supposed to! ;)

Saloon base is deeper (front to back) than the estate so doesnt fit
