Anyone modify the R63 to seat seven!?!

I would love to have the R63, but I really need to seat seven. Has anyone taken out the center console and replaced it with the seventh seat from a 2007 R? I know the two mid row seats would lose their inner arm rest.

Thanks

I tried to find this in the threads, but failed. Really appreciate the help. I still wonder if the R63 has the correct mounting holes. I think I just have to accept six seats, and if I get the seventh, great. Now I just need one of the four Capri blue ones to come up for sale😎.

Honestly if you are hauling that many people or things get a damn Caravan and call it a day lol. 2019's are sub $20,000. Cheap to buy own and fix. Chances are it will be trashed and you do not have much into it. We have no kids but we have a business so putting seats up and down are great and when we have family come we have the seats we can put up. Of course it is no R63 at all but it gets the job done.

just take your silly answer and go, get your Hyundai today.

don8blood: no problem to retrofit 7th seat, but if you have dvd player in center console /as I had/ , you will loose it.

From where I'm sitting it's an intuitive answer. By the time you cannibalize and retrofit and lose things, you'd be better ahead getting a SUV already with suitable seating. It's just an alternative, know-it-all.

Who made you the relevant or non-relevant master of this thread? It's my opinion and it is relevant to this thread. Just like another fellow poster who agreed with me and posted in kind. I notice you didn't go after him. Who are you to tell anyone what they can post or not post? If anyone is being a thread ****, it's you.
