Default LWBS "backrest pad"

Are there any alternatives to this part? Or cheaper alternatives?

Do you really need it? I took mine out. Every once and a while you will see them for sale in the marketplace.

I thought it would be helpful for when the kids ride in the car.

Not $500 helpful, though.

Ahh... Makes sense. I'm sure a few people have a set lying around that would be willing to sell them to you.

If you are in USA, your car should have come with the pads. If you bought the car used without the pads, should be someone to offer them to you for far less...

Oh, gotcha. Someone did reach out to sell a set, but I'm going to check and see if they are in the car somewhere when it arrives.

I got in contact with the original owner, so he may also have them. I didn't realize they were standard.

Yeah, they were only added to the US market cars to allow them to pass DOT regulations…

Not sure why a car would have 4 pads for 2 seats, but … well, there you are.

If you or anyone still have a pair of these that you don't need mine came without them too and I'd like to add them. Thanks
