I suppose you mean change the seat to a wingroad seat. Make sure you get the bracket when you buy the seat otherwise you have to fabricate one.

It not that easy. The wing road made up differently on the body. There are some brackets that are welded on to the body that accepts the hinged bracket on the seat and where the lock goes. Unless you get a scrapped car and drill out and reweld these brackets to yours it cannot work. I did this already so I am speaking from experience.

OP it sounds easier to just go buy a Wingroad. I always assumed it would be an easy swap.

Just curious though...
How us it that so many people have done it then?
It is almost every AD I see has the wingroad back and front seats.

You could make up some kind of bracketing,but how will it look. Take a look at a wing road and you will notice some pieces made onto the wheel house(hump) there are also the same thing on the side post where the seat latches on . If you want to do a proper conversion using the wing road trunk side finishers you also have to put in the speaker pods on the post.
I found out the hard way. I changed a rear half on a wing road that was badly damaged some years ago, couldn't get a wing road half ,so I used The Ad and drilled out all the prices and re-installed them on the vehicle .
