How can I create a replica of the player without running into issues with Humanoids?

I am working on a game which involves custom vehicles that don’t utilize the standard Vehicle Seats and Pilot Seats to drive. This means that the player isn’t actually sitting inside of the vehicle when using the vehicle. I want to create the illusion that the player is sitting inside of the vehicle by creating a replica of the player, and then placing the replica in the seat. Sounds simple enough, however it isn’t working as intended.
I tried to place a blank rig in the seat of the vehicle and then change the rig’s humanoid description. This successfully made the dummy look just like the player, however this made the vehicle’s controls not function properly, and the dummy was disfigured. I’m guessing this is because the humanoid has custom properties which conflict with the movement of the vehicle. another reason may be the fact that I can’t anchor the dummy or else the vehicle won’t move. Therefore the dummy needs to be welded with the vehicle.
Is there any way I can make the dummy look like the player but not conflict with the vehicle movement?

Turn on humanoid platform stand or humanoid seated.

not really how it works but have you tried making the model non collidable ?

What if you just use a Seat, not a VehicleSeat?

Worked like a charm. I feel like a complete idiot for not trying this!
