Front seats are a straight swap.

Rears are completely different and won't fit.

The cabriolet rear bench is narrower and taller, so you need to get some cabrio side cards, then hack them up with a stanley knife to make them fit. Then you use the same knife on your parcel shelf to make that fit. So all in all, you need to massacre three other components to make a cabriolet rear bench fit in your saloon just because you're too cheap to fit the correct rear seats :D Totally not worth it.

If you're not cool enough to own a cabby, don't mess with its interior! :D
