I have a 2007 Toyota AYGO project that i'm working on (will post in readers rides soon...it's special trust me) - the rear seat clips are absolutely knackered and would like to replace them with something better as they're piss poor quality. Here's a stock pic of the seats to show what they look like:







Basically there are two holes in the flooring, with a plastic clip inside that the metal hooks on the seat push into.

Is it possible to buy some sort of universal rear seat brackets that I could replace these with? Something that drills into the floor and the seats can clip into? Odd question I know..!

The problem is, you won't have access to release any other style of fixing. How are the attached at the back, could you use brackets in place at the front so that they can just flip up?

Yeah that crossed my mind. Would you be able to mount them at the front of the seats? I don't mind having the brackets visible..

They're attached at the back with two bolts...really simple!

Do you have any info on different styles of fixing? Thanks for your response.

You need to have a look in the back of a few different hatchbacks, most old ford ones have hinges at the front. I think the ka had them hidden underneath the seat and escorts had them attached to the sides. I dont know your car so have no idea of the gaps and room thats available, but your beat bet is to look at a few different fixings in a few different makes of hatchback.

Well I think my best bet will be to go for the ones on the MK6 Escort
