Did the iS have a ski-hatch option?

Struggling to get the bass in... Wondering if there's any point looking for an iS bench with armrest/ski-hatch.

Indigo check will be impossible probably! - Have watch eBay.de for years for a pair of headrests, so I know how rare it is...

All E30s have the Ski hatch. Not too sure if the iS came with the seats to be able to make use of it however.

I think the rear seat back isn't too expensive new either come to think of it. Might be worth inquiring off Zimmerbimmer

i ended up purchasing an interior for my iS for that very reason as i couldn't find the a rear seat upright in the right colour, and i got rear headrests and centre armrest too so im pleased with that!

slightly off topic, your car has obc and manual windows, that seems like a strange combination

The E30 drop top has not got a ski hatch.

Have you looked into eBay.de?
They normally have more gadgets for sale for the E30s...

Why not just remove the metal plate that is there and keep the original seats. Just take the back seat off and bash out the panel - thats what I did in mine anyway! Does make a difference and if you are still not happy then spend the money and get the seats.

Re: iDreamBeemer; I had the rear seats out in your old iS, I didn't notice any holes in the bulk head come to think of it, lol
Just noticed how clean it was!!!

I miss that car soo much, it was so tidy! But yes, if you look behind the grey cloth you'll see the hole.

Apparently the ski hatch was povided for iS owners so they could choose to cross country ski instead of putting up with the infernal racket from the m42...

cross country skiing - are you mad?!! Normal skis and gravity please!

i dont think all e30's came with a Ski hatch , i had my rear seats out and its all metal there, unless the Ski hatch is something i need to cut out?

I supose that ski hatch was an option on all the E30s when you bought them new, but frankly the British ppl arent known for big ski resorts and hard winter conditions (where you are able to go on ski) so I supose that most of the E30s in the UK dont have a ski hatch at all....
