dodgethis Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 The title says it all. I found some real good looking, and in good condition leather seats at a local junkyard. I think the year of the olds is either a 2000 to 2001. i want to pull the leather seats out and put it my '98 lumina. Are they direct swappable? I didn't know if the intrigues are considered W-body ( I should already know that) I would love to roll on some leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Good luck. its been done before (2g seats in a 1g) but its far from a direct bolt in. Learn from my mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgethis Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I thought 98 Lumina was second gen? What is the intrigue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 98 lumina is technically a 1.5 gen as they had different rear suspension and were the second generation lumina, but they share WAY more with the first gens then anything else. the intrigue is a second gen.

dodgethis Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks White93z34, Has anyone attempted what I am trying to do.

AL Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 The way the seat mounts to the car is completely different between the generations... The seconds gens have 2 bolts in the back holding the seat down, in the front they have a hook design which the seat must be lifted up from the back and lifted out at a forward angle... The first gen seats simply have 4 bolts holding it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have tried it. I almost made it work but even then it was a hackjob.if you use the gen2 seats on gen1 tracks nothing lines up right. i wasted a perfectly good gen1 power seat track finding this out.

dodgethis Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Ok so i guess moral of the story is let it go? What a bummer I thought i could just use the old rail and slap it on the new seat. Well thanks guys for letting me know. I'm glad I didn't get all excited to only be dissapointed trying to put them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
