    Hey everybody,

    I'm new to this forum, but I've got a pressing question I'd like answered.

    I recently purchased a 2004 Grand Prix GT without powered seats. All the other Grand Prix I have driven had powered seats so I simply expected this one to be the same, but it's not. I'm a pretty tall guy (6'3'') and after driving it for a couple weeks I've run into a problem. Without the powered seats, I can't lower the seat to a comfortable position. Right now, my head/hair brushes against the ceiling of the car when I sit in the position I would prefer. To compensate for this I have to scoot the seat forward more than I would like and tip it back more than I would like. This particular Grand Prix also has a sun/moon roof which seems to make the internal ceiling liner even lower. I'm sure if I had a power seat I could simply lower the entire seat to solve the situation.

    So, my question is this...

    Can you install a power seat in an 04 Grand Prix that has stock un-powered driver's seat?

    Do all trim levels of the Grand Prix have the electrical wiring and harnesses available to switch over to a powered seat?


    If the answer is yes to either of these questions, where would you go from here? Would it be at all practical to install a different seat? Roughly what do you think it would cost?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    -Peter

    Typically the wiring would be there for the power seats. Easy way to check is to get down there and look. If you don't see a connector poking through the carpet, pull the seat and check.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
