I heard the Recaro seats can't go in the vert without the seatbelt light
I was talking to someone who has a 13 vert and said he was gonna put the Recaro seats in his vert but GM told him it couldn't be done because a air bag difference. Is it true?

True that the airbags from a coupe are different from a convertible. True Recaros where not offered as an option in convertibles. Page 3-19 of the 2013 Owner's Manual shows the differences in airbags. Maybe put the convertible airbag into the Recaros.

I think if it's the same plug going into the harness, why would a light come on. Someone has had to of put the Recaro seats in a vert by now.

Lots of design and testing goes into airbags... probably different airbags for a good reason, even if you CAN physically make them work. Swap at your own risk, in my opinion.
