    Maybe just switch em' & access the rear seat from the drivers side?

    Steering wheel keeps the seat from folding completely foreward - limiting access to the rear.

    Just bought a VX New Beetle to save gas on my commute - somebody needs to figure out how to use the seat tracks from those in a VX! The seat bottom lifts and the whole seat folds forward - GREATLY increasing the ability to get into the back seat. I also saw this on a 2dr BMW. Getting into the back seat of the VX is an acrobatic endeavor when you're 6'1" and 220#! Actually, it's the getting out that is the worst!

    Seat rail extenders? If you dont have them, get them.

    Looked into that option - but I don't care for the higher position of the seat, and less travel fore and aft.

    How about leaving the tracks where they are and switching the seats only ( of course remove all to switch) Left seat on right track, Right seat on left track...
