Gusto™ Club Car DS (2000.5 and UP) Golf Cart Flip Folding Rear Back Seat Kit - Buff

Instructions were very hard because everything is black. We got it done though with all parts included. Took a few hours for one person with some help of another.

This was exactly what we needed to add seating after selling another golf cart. It was a pretty quick & easy one person installation job. Good quality for the right price.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to make a product to fit the many different year models of club cars. Most everything fit well but I had to make a few adjustments by drilling a couple of holes and redesign a bit of my Door Works covering. All in all, the install went well. I had a few friends helping me so that helped me get it done quicker. With their help, and the need to do some redesign work, the total time for the install was around 4 - 5 hours. I have already used it to take extra people around the park and I use it constantly for working in the park.

So, I have a 2003 Club Car DS and needed a back seat to get the wife and kid down to the community pool. Long story short; after looking at a bunch of seats I settled on this one. It got decent reviews, is shipped from America and would supposedly fit my cart. Let's start with a warning - if you buy this seat do yourself a favor - run down to the hardware store and get yourself a half dozen 3/8 by 1-1/2 hex head bolts. Trust me, they give you a bunch of 1 inchers and they just don't fit with the washers and nut. If the thread of the bolt doesn't breach the end of the nut it DOES NOT fit. Safety first.... Here's what I like about it so far (I installed this morning): The seat seems to be good quality. Nothing was bent or busted in the box. The provided hardware was plentiful (if not a proper size). Speaking of bent, the down supports need to have a bend at the top to fit into the slots in the bed (at least on my cart). Dry fit them before bolting to the bumper mounts or you'll be busting knuckles taking everything apart to bend them. I was able to get mine to the correct angle with a couple of hammer whacks and then they fit fine. Despite sending me the extra roof supports needed for an older club car I still couldn't get my supports to fit perfectly. Not sure what to do about that. I was able to force the roof back on but it definitely is under a lot of tension . Read ahead in the directions. There are some assemblies that can be done before bolting things to the cart which will make everything easier. Speaking in instructions; they kinda suck. The pictures are not great. You can find a pdf of them online which is a little easier to read. However, your best bet is to hit youtube and watch some install videos. They helped me a lot. Took me a couple hours to install this myself (minus trip to store for bolts). Overall, it seems pretty sturdy and fits solidly on my cart. I'll circle back in a few months with a performance review.

Really nice unit! Fitted my golf cart perfectly with all the parts included! All the kit is pre drilled and parts are ready! Basically- buy this - it works! The seat moves over to reveal a metal base for hauling stuff I added a bar at the back for the seat belts and a hitch ! Awesome!!!!

Instructions are in color but it doesn’t tell you which bolts and screws are which. Frame parts were bent and thankfully we were able to bend them into place ourselves. Shipping was quick. Box it showed up it looked like someone had a dance party on it… that could be on the shipping company though. Took 2 people a full exhausting hour to install.

Not an easy install, but worth every penny. EXACT match for my 98 club car.

The installation instructions are terrible - the pictures and illustrations are unclear and not helpful. I consider myself pretty handy and it still took way longer than it should have. There are tons of fasteners. The powder coat is already coming off some pieces right out of the box. Once assembled, the foot rest is super flimsy. I got the optional rear grab rail and trailer hitch. Both attach to the already flimsy foot rest. Overall wouldn't recommend it. Expected better for a made in USA product.
