PeterHenry Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi All, I understand that this is probably an idiotic question that has an exceptionally simple answer - but - how do I get the folding seats in the back of my 1996 defender to stay so that they are folded up? Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seph234 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I bought Universal lap belts ad bolted them in, so they kept the seats up when not being used and kept the rear passengers from launching when off roading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Remove them. Put them in the loft. Move on with your life – (unless you have a secret family of dwarfs you like to ferry around in the back of your landy?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, My defender came with some neat seat straps that connect with plastic buckles like you would get on a rucksack. I can send pics if you are still not sorted.

Thanks, but in the end I got a packet of bungee cords in a rarther fetching selection of colours - which I'm sure look wonderful as I drive around 13 hours ago, Scully said: Mine lock into place!

Although, thinking about it - thats probably why the noisy wiper motors have been left in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
