gxp seat swap 97-03 question

[lance4682]

quick question just picked up a set of gxp seats to swap in my 99 grand prix .the driver seat would not move for whatever reason so to get the last bolt we had to rock it until the track bent and broke off. my question is since it is a direct drop in could i just swap over the track from my gt or is there a wiring issue i will run into........also anybody have some tips to spruce up the suede

i am guessing no one has tried this...crap time to experiment

i suppose so. it seems to be a load of work. next time take a cordless drill battery with you and some jumper wires to power up the seat plug so you can move it

crap dont like the sound of a lot of work....yeah got them off of craiglist in philly and he said they would be pulled by the time we get there

I was under the impression that the tracks mounted to the floor holes, but on the seat side are different.

just read that entire thread on club gp.i now feel comfortable wiring the heated seats sadly no info on if you can switch the tracks

[Scottydoggs]

some one here did a power to manual or the other way, but the tracks came off and got swapped to the other seat, its do able, your taking the seat bottom apart tho for sure.

thing is the junk yard wont let you bring a battery in the yard right, but will let you bring in a cordless drill, aka a power source.

Oh, I thought you were just talking in general, like you're at home or something. Different story if you're at the JY I guess. My bad.

got the passenger and rears in looked at the bottom of the driver and didnt feel like taking it on going to try next week.....pro tip its much easier to remove the front seats with the headrest off lol

[Scottydoggs]

in my car i raise the rear of the seat, un bolt it, then recline the seat back, then lift the back up, then pull up on the front. install the same way.

Would somebody mind taking measurements for me? I need to know the bolt pattern on the seats where the tracks bolt on, as well as how far the hooks are from the bolt holes on the tracks themselves.
