| With modification, yes.
IIRC, you have to cut down the foam on the bottom of the seat back to make it fold flat. If you don't care about that function, it's likely much easier.
Silverfox103 has Roadmaster Sedan seats in his RMW. |

| The bottom part of the seat will snap right in. The back part of the seat can be made to work. It involves some work and bringing it to an upholsterer. You have to combine the wagon back with the sedan back. "Sting" is correct, it does not fold down all the way. I think the only time that I really need the seat folded down is when I bring my daughter back and forth to college. She has one more semester, so till that's done with I use the sedan bottom and extra wagon back that I have. It works great and folds flat.
See pictures below.

| I have had both a sedan (never finished the carpet backing) and Bonneville seats in my car. The Bonnie seat does fold flat, but does not look as nice as the Roady sedan seat. It also requires a bit of modification to the lower pieces as the mounting points are narrower in the Pontiac. | |

| I dream of a Bonneville rear seat... The set in the car at the yard, someone had ripped the seat bottom out and bent it all to hell to lay on it in the yard. *cries* Full red bonnies, you will be mine one day. |

| The seat back (at least) changed somewhat between my 92 and my 95 wagons. The 92 folded forward and had a metal filler plate that folded on a straight hinge to fill the gap. The 95 seatback just folds straight down, so the resulting cargo floor is not as long and the much narrower gap is simply covered by a flap of carpet that is velcroed to the seatback.
I don't know how much different the cushion itself might be. Also, I had cloth seats in the 92 and the 95 has Limited seats, so I'm not even sure if this is a year difference or trim level difference. | |
