Originally the camper seat tracks had sheet metal track covers that were
screwed down over the tracks to level the floor. Hard to find if yours
are gone.

It’s a great addition although super heavy and a pain in the butt to install.  The fabric is the same brown velour, but without any “texture” that the front or rear bench have if you know what I mean.  Always wondered if that was original or recovered?  It has seatbelts, headrests (grey ones that don’t match) and folds down for rear entry.  I assume they are all the same?
