Footrests

Post by emmavix » Thu May 01, 2008 10:10 pm

I think this may be a silly question but do we need to do something to the footrests so that they don't collapse when feet or bottoms are rested on them?!

Thanks

you push the seat forward then flip the footrests over to create a little seat, otherwise they are crap.

For your bum - are you putting your front seats forward and tilting the backs forward? then rotating the footrest to make a seat?

Hi. The foot rests double up as extra seats. Simply slide the front seats forward then tilt the backs of the seats forward rotate the footrests back and hey presto you now have an extra 2 seats. Just brilliant.

Aye...they aren't really footrests at all, they have just become known by that term as that is what they resemble, they are as suggested above, little seats, but only if flipped over with the seats slid all the way forward.... :wink:

That "footrest" looks a bit pixilated out in the vid to me.
Is it part of the Bongo Towers witness protection program?

I love it, now I know why the roof stops half way down!

I miss my footrests too, I hope they found a good home.
