    Sport seat back panels: difference between coupe/vert?

    I know there are slight variations between a coupe and convertible sport seat, but are the back panels interchangeable? My back panel is messed up pretty bad, but I can't find a coupe panel in black vinyl for sale anywhere, wondering about other options.


    Thanks


    Editing to state that I have checked RealOEM and the part numbers don't jive, but that sometimes RealOEM can be less than accurate/clear.

          How are they different? I can't think of why they would be. Other than stitching and the back seat access handle, there isn't anything different between the seats, no?

              The verts are actually narrower inside then the coupes, due to structural reinforcements The back seat is different, the carpet is different and the interior panels contain speaker pods and are different on the top because of the rear windows and the convertible top.

                  I think OP means the cover for the rear of the front seats, not the rear bench and seatback. If so, they are the same I believe, though there may be a difference in the access handle.

                              The covers for the back of the seats should all be the same between sport, vert and M3. At least they all looked exactly the same to me. Vert seats just have limiters to stop you from reclining the seat further (which can be removed).

                                  Vincent, awakennomore is correct. All of the rear seat covers are interchangeable. The only difference is the passenger and drivers side.

                                      2 door sport seat backs should all be the same but the 4 dr seat backs to not have the cutoff for the recline handle.

                                          Vert and coupe rear covers are not interchangeable from my experience I have both and the vert cut outs don't line up. I believe the verts were cut too low.
