 Is there any way of hacking at the hinge so that it reclines all the way?
 
 Or else is it easy to replace it with a seat from another vehicle? I would

I know of someone who put seats out of a Subaru in their Van. They recline
all the way back.  Doubt the tracks are the same, but I don't know, as I
didn't ask him. Anybody got both a Subaru and a Vanagon who cares to see if
it'll fit?
