I need a rear seat for my '63 ghia vert. Can someone give me a yay or nay on whether these are actually the seats I need, please.
Thanks,
Jesse

Looks darn close to what came with my '64 coupe.

Karmann Ghia convertible rear seats are smaller in size than those used in the coupe, so if those came out of a KG coupe they will not fit in the back of a 'vert.
Coupe rear seats are about 40 3/4" wide, while 'vert seats are only about 35 1/2" wide. HTH

Thanks for the info. I was looking at buying those from someone and wanted to be sure they were really for a ghia vert before I did.

I decided to recover the rear seats on my '70 Vert. As I took things apart, I found crumbling foam, rotten wood, etc. Ended up actually remaking the seats with some 1/2 plywood, new foam and the TWI seatcovers. It was truly no big deal, and looks far better than the originals.
