Default Bench seat

It might sound wild and crazy, but does anyone know if anyone is marketing a bench seat for a '93 C4 ?

It doesn't sound wild and crazy, it is wild and crazy!

To my knowledge, no one offers a bench seat and I pretty sure no one will.

LOL, I'm not sure how that would work with the tunnel unless it was for a child seat.

Its just a pain in the wrist, to try to put your arm around the passenger and rub her ear on them long road trips, a bench seat would solve that

Plus I'm tired of digging the french fries out from between the seats.

Open the center console lid and look at the bottom of it. The top of the driveline tunnel is about 3" below that surface . There would be no way a bench seat would fit much less work. A seat back would be nearly impossible to mount effectively and would pretty much do away with any rearward view from the center mirror.

The car is defined as a "two-seat" vehicle. Adding a third "seat" would require at least a set of seat belts and there is no real provision for that.

this doesn't help, but, back in the day for those that owned c-2 coupes, they would put the back seat out of an old jeep in the back,under the glass...right sized for the kids.

Depending where she sits will indicate if you are fighting.
