I looked into this once I had the middle seat out. What I quickly saw
was that there was hardly any room to get the seat much forward, because
of the seat backs interfering with the front seat backs. Also there was
not much room for the legs in the rear, but the tracks was still in the
stock position. What I suggest you do is just place the seat on the
floor, not in the tracks, and see how it fits, how the space is for the
legs etc. And the seatbelts would be another matter too.
