Killer seats S40-V40 2002

Thank you again for all the great insights! To follow up: I was told the headrests could not be removed; I'll have to investigate further. Obviously as you say, I would not drive the car that way but it might be something to try for info purposes.

I'm near Burlington, VT which is far north (about an hour from Canada) but we could make a trip down to New Rochelle. Then again, maybe I should find the Porshe dealer up here and see if they have any cars with Recaro seats. Thanks for all the info on the place in New Rochelle, by the way.

Yes, I thought the lack of a bona fide adaptor was a problem. I'm surprised to see the V40 info from their website. Again, more to follow up on. Also, the side airbag on the S40 is in the seat.

I think I test drove with leather. I'm not completely sure. I later went to the showroom to try both cloth seats and manual seats and neither were much of an improvement.

My whiplash occurred in 1994, unfortunately. I was rear-ended and my car was pushed into the car in front of me. The injury was confined to muscle tissue (and perhaps some tearing from the base of the skull) and continues to improve as long as I strength train and stretch (until I bought the blasted Volvo!).

I was interested to see the link to the Cobra seats. Good to know there are options...

Again, many thanks.
Christy
