do you think hatchback rear seats might swap with estate rears?

 

 

bit of a long shot

I can't imagine it. Bodyshells are different.

Can't see why not. The boot floor is the same size in both cars and the length and width is also the same for both vehicles.

 

Why swap though?

From looking here, it seems that the bases are different but the backrests are the same: http://etka.cc/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/SUP/year/2015/drive_standart/768/hg_ug/881/subcategory/881000/part_id/2564997/lang/e

The Octavia hatch fitted the Estate, I know this for sure as I put a full leather interior in my last taxi from a Hatch. Mines was an estate. Had to modify the rear door cards.
