Don't know about bolting rear seats on when you need them. My guess is that would be make-and-model dependent. A dealer could give you more info. on that.

Oh--and don't take the honesty of the people here for granted. I've had sunglasses stolen from our cart. Some months back a cart (or carts?) had the windshield stolen near Spanish Springs. And carts have been known to disappear: read not long back about a cart that was left outside overnight and was stolen from a driveway. Theft is a crime of opportunity, so don't leave too much temptation (keys in ignition, sunglasses on the dash, etc.) laying around.

Oh--and a locking glovebox? Can't hurt. As Dad always used to say, "locks are for keeping honest people honest". Sure an habitual thief could probably pry a locked glovebox open in a few seconds and abscond with what is in there, but why tempt others?
We were told at Villages Golf Cart store the locking glovebox is pointless because every cart has the same key. I guess it would deter thieves who have no key, but anyone in possession of a Yamaha glovebox key can access any Yamaha glovebox.
