    Question Humm, what should i do. Sedan Recaro swap with Avant rear seats issue.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I bought a set of B6 sedan Recaro for my B7 Avant. But the Recaro has the ski bag option, which my Avant doesn't.
    My Avant has bracket at the back of the rear seats to hold the cargo cover, which the sedan Recaro doesn't.
    So i dont know what should i do to make a good professional job.
    Two options
    -I find someone that can make me the avant cargo cover brackets on the back of the sedan Recaro's
    or
    -I Retrofit the Avant rear seat backing for a ski bag. it seems the foam and steel is ready to be cut to fit the ski bag, but i still have to cut it and find the ski bag parts.
    Here are the pics.
    The recaro cover on the Avant backing with no ski hole.

    The Sedan backing with ski hole

    The Avant rear seat foam no ski hole cut

    Compare the seat backing of the Avant and the sedan, you can see where the cargo cover brackets are different.

    The cargo cover brackets that i dont have on the sedan backing


    Please, feel free to give opinions, ideas, point me in directions that i've missed, or if anybody ever did that mod.
    Thanx

    get an opinion from a upholsterist (is that a word? one who works in upholstering)

    bring both seats into the person, and have them point you in the right direction, i feel like right away they will know what is easier or what will look better, either retrofitting the ski bag from the recaro or dumping it. they might also quote you a price on how much it would cost to do it, because your just cutting stuff and what not it may not be that expensive (compared to the stitching and fabrication of upholstering things)

    i have no experience in this so i can't really offer you much advice but i will tell you what i've learned from watching pawn stars....call in an expert when in doubt
