terreno rear floor rust is two seater easy way out

[philip121]

if say you had a terreno and you got knocked back at warrent time because of rust in the rear floor and seat belt attachments
would the easy way or less cost be to take the back seats out plus the rear seatbelts
and just use as two seater
is there any cost to do this
hows it worked by the warrent people
in this case what do you do

Just have to update registration to a 2 seater. Stops people putting the seats back in afterwards. Then Mr Plod knows when pulling them over

is there any cost in this DRAMA

Nah, don't think so....same as changing the colour.
Common solution to this kind of problem. Seen a few on Trade Me with back seat removed.

Cheers,

My one runs great but i am thinking ahead its as of now got bugger all rust anywhere i fishoiled it under floor chassis and yes under the rear seat that looked ok
but you never know as they say Rust never sleeps
and i cauld strike a real bastard of a warrent inspector
I dont care what people say all warrent inspectors are not the same
I am sure you all understand

theres a plate that you can fit where the problem is

the only issue with removing the seats is that once the wof is issued there is nothing stopping people from reinstalling the seats.
plus it still doesnt fix the rust either
