<< Well, I finally installed the carat jump seats into my '85 GL.  Everything
 went in pretty nicely and the finished job looks neat and the seats feel
 great.  However, I'm wondering if I mounted them properly...the front
 driver's and passenger's seat backs are jammed back to back against the jump
 seats.  Granted this is with the front seats all the way back in their
 tracks (or maybe just one notch forward) but the jump seats do affect the
 amount of rearward angle you can set on the front seats, particularly as you
 push the front seats towards the back of the tracks.  Is this normal?  Can
 you Carat/Wolfie people slide your front seats back all the way and still
 set lots of rearward angle on the front seat back?  Do your seats get jammed
 back to back?

 Thanks,

Yes this is normal for Carats.  I don't miss the extra 1/2 inch of recline.
