Just thinking the same older struts struggle a bit with the weight of a spoiler, let alone the blind...

Probably easiest bolted across the bottom edge of the metal GM dog guard, boot side rather than seat side , with a plug connection in the n/s wheel arch cubby hole.

That way, no cutting of roof lining, keeps it out of the way and is readily removeable as an assembly if needed

Fitting to the roof would create alot of issues me thinks

i am thinking of integrating it into the rear tailgate panel as roof is non starter and behind the seats is no good when you need to drop half for carryng loads, i have had omega bits in the car including bonnet, and other time was 3 doors, and tailgate for estate, so lots of load carrying space, took a couple of pics to show seat i created cheers Eric

I have never seen the fold flat option....Would love to do that in mine. If someone did a guide and write up that would be great....I have also thougt about the rear blind and was thinking of putting in the tail gate....I like the idea of the remote tail gate option as well i have seen a you tube clip i think it was were it had been done but i not sure whats needed and how to even go about that  .

well first you need to get a fold flat seat frame, an elite drivers seat to strip out the electric position encoders, and main control module, the next item is the seat switch if you want to you can srtip the drivers side and swap all components round 180 to orientate it to suit passenger side, you can choose the easy option and get a new switch for lhd elite, and lasty you can drill the old side trim on the passenger seat to allow access for buttons, or again buy a new side panel to fit the switches from lhd elite to it with holes already lined and drilled, you cant use early type seats as they dont have the active head restraint system if your making this for facelift, i found best doner seat is from face lift as has correct colour and grain finish in plastics, seat tipping handle mech is a bugger to prise free with out snapping so you need to be careful, as with headrest clips, when doing the seat motors you need to be aware of their position and direction as passenger motors are mounted in mirror to drivers and you are only using the encoders swapped over to facilitate memory, they are a bit fiddley when seperated as your trying to align the three motor shafts into the correct splines all at once and they need to be square when sliding back together, last awkward is side trim from elite has to be cut as well as side tril from donor folding seat and welded together, then refit all trim to seat and clips etc and your ready to refit to car, eric
