SmokesGTP Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 So I sit down in my car tonight and the motherfuckin, cocksuckin seat breaks! I have to ride home bracing myself with the fuckin steering wheel. It broke where the actual part you sit on connects to the part that controls the movements of the power seat. Metal just snapped. It's tough to explain. Anyway, I have a feeling a brand new fuckin seat is going to be the only way to fix this problem and I have a feeling thats gonna run me 800 or so bucks with all the power nonsense. Anyone have any idea about what to do here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomshado Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 hit up a junkyard. I've never spent over 500 for a whole car, let alone a seat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Boneyard all the way. Seeing as you need a seat right away, grab anything that'll fit for the time being (from another W-Body, of course) so you can buy yourself some time to find one that matches... I find that the "Pick-A-Part" boneyards have the least expensive seats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 You should be able to swap fabric, frames, etc. Seats can come completely apart if you don't mind taking the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to get a new seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokesGTP Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'm only 220 but I'm 6'3" so I have the seat reclined quite far, theres not much headroom in these cars with the moonroof. I think it puts a lot of pressure on the supports. I guess I could take it apart, it seems like the piece should be replaceable but I'm not sure. I'm gonna run by the dealers tomorrow and see exactly what needs to be fixed or If I need a new seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckethead Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 you should try taking the seat off yourself. dealers are gonna charge you up the ass just for looking at it. It shouldn't be too hard to see what's wrong with it anyways. sounds to me like it's just the frame. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to replace just that and keep your stock seat if you don't want to go with another style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too hard to see what's wrong with it anyways. You only have to remove 4 bolts on the floor to get the seat out. It'll take you 15 minutes, tops to get the seat out. I'm sure it's the seatback that's broken. It's not worth fixing, IMHO, when you can easily find the same seat at a boneyard. Try searching http://www.car-part.com ...
