FWIW
I've found that on mine the camper seats are a bit shorter (1"?) than the
non-swivel seats. Now that I've put the swivel mechanisms from the back
half westie in the 7 pass front half with the 7 pass seats, I've found that
the seating position is higher than either one was originally. For me it's
not a problem, there is a little less vertical room from the seat to the
steering wheel, but for a tall person it may be an issue.
