Got it - had to look hard to see there. If it had some old grubby finger jam on it, woulda' been easier to see the cutout.

Reminds me of a time I was doin' some installation work in some newlywed's home once. I tried walkin' through a new glass door. BOOM.

"No kids yet, huh?"

Takes a bit of a yank to pull them out.

Metra makes a converter that plugs into the stock molex connector that has RCA jacks to connect directly into the radio output.

Bob, I did drill the heck out of the Corbeau tracks.

Corbeau seats also were 15lbs but with the tracks/slides they were closer to 20 lbs when I drilled the heck out of the tracks got them down to about 18-19lbs each seat w/track.

Can the factory slides/tracks be drilled?

After I gutted my factory sport seats basicly took all the motors wires switches out and installed factory slides from what I remember they came in at about 20-22lbs so for the comfort and stock look I sacrificed.

Dominic,did you weigh it with the track 32 lbs sounds a bit light.
The black seat you have listed for sale looks like the track is missing can you take a picture of the under side of the seat.

I had a set of Corbeau sliders in another car many years ago, I remember them being quite light - just the sliders no additional bracket.... they were also very short. Wonder if it would be easier to modify an aftermarket slider assembly to fit the stock seat... rather than modifying the factory slider to be lower?

Locobob · 01-10-2014

I'm thinking if I go manual on the seat track I can remove the seat control boxes from the console and replace them with the blank ones - then I can cut out the blanks to accept the heated seat controls. Currently the heated seats just have one switch each which has hi, low, and off positions. I plan to add a second switch that will enable me to choose a back only option - I noticed on my friends car that sometimes the butt warmer was a bit much where as I liked having the back heater on. Looks like the seat control modules pop out, I think I see a plastic tab holding them in, anyone ever remove just this part?

Looks clean there Bob; no 'corner jam' in the controls...

Anyone else have experience with installing a PAC oem-1? Wonder if they make a extension wire?

I would just cut and it extend it to the length you need. Just make sure you shrinkwrap the extensions

If it was me I would just leave them in place the weight reduction is not worth it. However your car so go boldly

Got a few things back from the upholstery shop, here is the drivers under-dash panel that I had redone to match the red/black door panels.
