Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Do you ever find that when you have an adult in the seat behind the passenger's seat, the space is a bit tight?
A neighbour (has a 92 W250) and I were looking into this a few days ago, finally he bought a seat of adjustable seat sliders for the driver's side, fitted them to the passenger's side seat. Works great, gives the seat the same adjustment as the driver's seat. One problem to watch for, the rear of the seat needs to be shimmed up about an inch so the lower rear will clear a hump on the seat support. Cost is just over $C100. The studs on the underside of the seat need to be removed. The sliders come with bolts to go into the under side of the seat, remove them as they are too short when you shim up the rear of the seat, use 1. 5" x 5/16 bolts and some washers. To keep the seat pitch the near the same, shim up the front a bit also.
Happy passengers.
PS. I have rails on order, will fit this week.
