#6 of 15 rear bed by aerofan3 Apr 15, 2008 (9:50 am)
I've a 94 extended Aerostar with two rows of seats. Both are only foldable forward so it is impossible to make a bed. After hours of driving it would be nice to have a rear bed to take a comfortable nap. Couldn't find nothing on the web. Does anybody have an idea how to proceed? Are there pre fab items available or needs this to be custom made and how? Thanks!

Replying to: aerofan3 (Apr 15, 2008 9:50 am) Go back and check more thoroughly, the back of the most rear bench seat in my '94 Aerostar will fold forward for removal, or backward for a bed. Replies to this message: aerofan3 (Apr 18, 2008 6:02 pm)

Replying to: wwest (Apr 16, 2008 7:36 am) thanks for replying. I checked again. The removal for the whole seat is at the bottom. The folding mechanism is on the seat and the backrest is only folding forward and not backwards. I couldn't find anything which allows to fold the backrest backwards.
#9 of 15 raised top by aerofan3 Apr 15, 2008 (9:44 am)
I've seen recently driving on the highway a Ford Aerostar with a nice raised top. Couldn't see if it was a short or extended one. I've a 94 extended and would probably like like to have more headroom. Researching the web I couldn't find any. Does somebody have an idea about this item?

Replying to: aerofan3 (Apr 15, 2008 9:44 am) most with the extended top are for wheel chairs.

Replying to: aerofan3 (Apr 15, 2008 9:50 am) where i found my interior-with the fold out bed,rather than the fold forward kind-was in the boneyard!..i found a extended eddie bauer edition,where even the front seats are still in great shape!the four bolts at the top of the pedestal are easy to get at-unlike some folks i've seem who go after the pedestal bolts that go through the floor,and have been exposed to all the snow and road tar-that way's nearly impossible,but i changed out the front seats-in the junkyard(i convinced the owmer it would be SO mutch easier for me to drive all tyhe way to the back-where they always put the trucks and vans-he said as long as i didn't try to blame him if i got a flat-it'd be o.k...) --despite my origional interior was grey,and the eddie bauer seats wer a desert tan,it didn't worry me! while i was there-trading the back seats for the twin captain's chairs AND the bed-seat was simply just poping them out,and trading the short bench in the middle for the mutch cooler captain's chairs-that fit perfectly in the origional ford brackets-just like it was made for it!?!!(it was!).. --it's been in my van now for five years,and the only regret was not having the "star drive-t-50" socket that the seat belts require,as the eddie bauer had lap belts,and my van has the three point harness we all have nowdays,with the sholder strap,and are configured exactly backwards to the semi-custom-eddie bauer seats bt just for the rear..the front's are fine..-   so,look for a long wheelbase aerostar-maybe get lucky like i did and get one with upgraded upolstery,as the one's i got still look like new,unlike the standard seats-especially the driver's seat-cause it gets the most wear!.that i find in most well worn aerostar's.. --despite the rust -it still runs great,and i'm hesatant to get rid of sutch a dependable old workhorse,but i scored a nice jeep for cheap when gas hit 4 bucks,and now i know why--this jeep gets about10/12 mpg!..my aerostar took me from ohio to north florida,and got 28/32mpg on one of three tanks!..the jeep will never touch that--but it does have all wheel drive.. good luck finding a bed-seat!
