Hello All....I am new to the forum.
Wondering if anybody has ever seen an option to make the back seat/seatbelts accommodate 3 instead of just 2?
I'd like the seats to still be able to fold down when wanted.
AND, any recommendation for front seat replacements that are a little sportier...ie. some sort of formed, higher back bucket. Is there any chance that somebody makes some that will "plug" into the factory brackets AND adjust?
Thanks for any help.
Regards.
Lou

Please refer to the 'sticky' on seats for stock 'slide in' options, http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=446005

I purchased a set of high back seats from a 1972 VW Bug off of The Samba classifieds that I will be installing in my car. Do not forget to get the plastic sliders for the rails, as well as the springs needed to attach the seat to the rails, one spring for each seats, a set of the plastic riders for the seat rails.

Why not just bolt a third set of belt in the back utilizing the two inside bolts to hold half of the outside and new third belt? The seat is wide enough for 3 to sit close together.
