  The simplest method would probably be a weight-mapped dForm, select all the seat polygons with the Geometry Editor, use the Node Weightmap Brush tool to fill with 100% (right-click>Weight Editing). invert the selection (right-click>Geometry Selection), and fill with 0%.

  According to the product description, there is a morph for the steering wheel, while more logycally it should have been rigged.

  There is nothing about the seat.

  So your only option for that is the rig or nake a morph. Might be duable with a dFormer, if the seat is one connected geometry without connection to the rest, which also would make it doable to rig without to much issues.

  1. Select the steering wheel, dial the pose property: Steering Wheel Rotate (ss1)
  2. For adjusting the seat, since the seats and the jeep body are welded in terms of geometry, rigging / dFormer / Mesh Grabber won't work well as expected.  A simple way can be:
     a) With Geometry Editor, hide all Surfaces exept: Jeep_ Seat. Ctrl ++ to select the left front seatl. Create a Selection Set for it > LeftSeat. Then Invert Selection, create another Selection Set > Body. (ss2)
     b) Duplicate the Jeep ! Select the Selection Set > Body, Delete Selected Polygons. Then rename the duplicated node as LeftSeat. Move it forward by changing its X Translate value. (ss3)

  The fact that the end user should have to make such time consuming modifications says a lot about a PA. Something like creating a rigged car seat during the design process should be second nature by now.

  Are PAs under pressure to quickly provide products for release? It seems there are a lot of corners being cut by certain PAs recently.

  No, it shouldn't. If you want a fully rigged automobile, there are websites where you can license them for hundreds of dollars. On a car, you could create a list of hundreds of items that could be rigged. Determining which one are necessary would not be agreed upon by every designer or buyer.

  Of course it should. Given the varying size and height of characters that can be created, it's pretty damned obvious that a fixed seat position isn't suitable.

  The figures can be placed through the seats. And I explained that could and should are subjective. You think seat postion is important. Other people would care about the wheels turning. Other people would canre about the gear shift shifting. Other people would want still other things rigged. When does the PA stop adding rigging? Wherever they want. You can always not buy it.
