Don't realy see how you can do anything they are up against the back anyway.

The seats backs are bolted to brackets that keep them very upright and uncomfortable.
Options are:
Remove bolts and allow seat back to sit in its natural position, the back is secure as it is the same seat used in SW. This also allow you to fold the seat backs down when there are no rear passengers (usefull when towing etc gives better visibility to rear)

Or if you would prefer to retain the bolted backs, then the brackets can be remounted behind the structural member running horizontally just under the rear window thus creating a slightly more reclined seat back. Difficult to explained but should be obvious when you look at it. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

I don't know how it looks like in a 130, but in my 110SW I put 10mm distancers underneath the front bracket. All original screws could still be used. That way the back rest declines backwards as the seat is fixed to the round axle of the foldable rear bracket. Canīt show pictures as the car is in the workshop since 6 weeks for the fifth intent to fix the heating.

Anyone got any photos showing mods to rear seats to allow a less upright position?
