Has anyone tried installing bucket seats from 2017 Malibu in a C3? I have a Malibu and they’re the most comfortable seats I’ve ever had. They sit low too.

You are probably looking at a very very very low minority considering these seats came out a year ago. If you are really interested, try it out. Your seats may have some electrical connections, but they all detach. See if the seat fits.

Put a request in to a national salvage parts system. They can call you when some are available. If you can accept vinyl or leather, you can recolor them to your needs without a lot of trouble, so you don't need to request your color only. Not so easy with cloth-insert seats...

Can I assume you measured the width, since you have a prototype available? That will be the biggest factor in making them fit.

Thanks for the replies. Got sick for a week and a half not doing much of anything will take detailed measurements of seats and take them into the C3 body to see if it’s possible.
