Is Car Seat Modification Illegal?
1 Answers
Car seat modification is not illegal. Traffic laws have lower requirements for vehicle interior modifications compared to exterior modifications, as long as the internal layout of the vehicle is not altered. For example, adding or removing seats is considered changing the vehicle's internal layout. In simple terms, converting a seven-seater into a six-seater is not allowed, nor is converting a five-seater into a seven-seater. Regulations on vehicle interior seat modifications: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to alterations to the appearance, powertrain, transmission system, or braking system that are not permitted by national laws or exceed the original manufacturer's design load capacity and functionality. Legal interior modifications include changes to interior facilities such as replacing the steering wheel, installing sport seats, adding instrument equipment, or sound-deadening materials.
