Panel Back Seat Installed

I am not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere but if anyone with a panel is thinking about rear seats, they do fit. I installed a set out of a wrecked 07 and all the mounts and studs are in place. You do have to remove the interior upper side panels to get the seatbelt stuff installed but it all worked out fine. Get the seatbelts and all the fasteners when stripping the wreck
The cost was $46.00 for a perfect Ebony cloth seat, $60.00 for the belts and misc hardware plus some shipping. It took two hours with two people, most of the time was spent sorting out how the seatbelts fit and in what order to install the parts.
I see more value in the rear seats than the minimal storage area in the factory storage tray.

Be very careful about installing seat belts out of a wrecked car. They may have been stretched or damaged in a collision and may not work properly in a new collision.

Is there inside door handles for the back seats or they trapped back there with no scenery to look at?

Inside handles are still there on the panels.
