Rear seat base specifics

Item Interest

We would like to change out our non-folding rear seat for a folding rear seat, but keep the 3-passenger rear seat base.

I see there are different seat bases. There is a 2-passenger seat base for fold-down seats. Can anybody tell me if the upper and lower parts of the fold down seats must be installed as a pair, or do I need only the top part?

I do not want to buy the parts on speculation.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Wrong forum, but the bottoms for the folding and non-folding are different, so yes, they have to be installed as a set. Check a DIY for that in the DYI sub-forum. BTW, the folding seats are also three-seat bench. You get three seat belts and headrests. Like in the non-folding, the middle seat does not have a nice bum spot though.
