I would really like to add this in the future, from what I can find I need a set of hinges, the actual fold down panel. ive seen some parts on ebay but what all needs to be changed and has anyone done this??? advice?? I have a complete stock back seat which looks like its never been sat in since 72 haha, but im slowly turning my interior from green to black...
I did it with my car, but it is quite a task and requires some tough pieces to acquire (which can be expensive). I scored a parts car cheap (for $75, no kidding) that had most of the setup in the car. Having the parts car also allowed me to measure where the brackets had to be welded into my good car.
Off the top of my head, you need the following (no doubt there are additional pieces).
- Fold down assembly (3 pieces, with carpet on it; $$$)
- Trapdoor (easy to find, not too pricey)
- Trapdoor trim piece (metal piece visible from rear window; pricey, but available on eBay from time to time)
- Package tray frame (different for folddown; not easy to find)
- 2 brackets that hold trap door in place
- trapdoor latch (must be welded in)
- special folddown plastic panels (not reproduced, hard to find in good condition; $$$)
Also, you can purchase a hardware replacement set on some of the websites, but the chrome pieces on the main assembly either need to be rechromed or be in good condition.
It is a bear, but it can be done. I just wouldnt recommend buying a basic assembly and thinking either your financial or time investment is anywhere complete.
