[V8] rear power seats.

[Bastian Homburg]

AFAIK, the rear deck area is unchanged. There`s two different versions 
of the parcel shelf and trim items listed - one regular, and one for 
cars with power sunshade as that is integrated in the parcel shelf. The 
power seats are mounted on their own subframes that take care of the 
necessary reinforcements.

The shades for the rear side windows were always included when you 
ordered a rear sunshade - power or manual.
If you get any used ones, see that they include the clips that attach to 
the door trim and hold down the shade when drawn - these break easily 
when used frequently and are no longer available, just like everything 
else concerning these precious parts. And they're expensive and hard to 
get as that is one of the  "must have" upgrades to every Type44....  
Mine are not for sale, btw :)
