Sorry Sib, I promised to take some photos of the seats for you and up to now have been frantic with work. Many apologies.
The tilt mech does work on my DC, when you have undone the bolts, but as I mentioned before its a little unstable. There is a large amount of space behind the seats, I agree, they haven't got this quite right! However the head rests do come out once you have unbolted the rig, then I suppose if you modified the bracket holding the seats you could in effect move the seats backwards a little. Mind you I think the seats would be a little too vertical to be usable after moving them, I could be wrong, but in mine they are only just sort of comfy now - in the existing position.....

i was shocked by the difference in the new double cabs, i have a TD5 one and the rear seats are lower and are located further back, i think they should have kept the old rear seats in the double cab as they are not as comfortable as the originals. don't get me wrong in a station wagon 110 they are 110 times better, it's just squeezing them into the double cab doesn't work. IMO.
even mine are set forward enough to get four 6 x 9's and a MDF box behind them. (it's an enhancement so that i get rid of the engine & road noise from the cab)  |

Fair point double cab..
Interesting that the tilt mech works when you have unbolted the seat backs from their retaining brackets, it felt like there was no mech in the one I saw today, or maybe the mech / lever is just light to use.. Once the back is tilted, can you acess the space behind well enough to store jack roll there? I was also a little dissappointed to see lack of trim to the side of the rear passenger `s heads, just a flap of material that looks very easy to come off, when you consider the better trim on the station wagon.. sib Sib Bath UK 1952 80 inch 1973 88 inch 2018 Morgan plus 4 narrow body |

Hi, yes I would say there is plenty of space for the jack roll there, not certain what you mean about the trim level though. I have just checked mine and cannot find anything amiss....
Can you explain, I am probably looking in the wrong place  |
