Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Best bet on finding leather seats?

i'd like to replace my 97 SE's cloth seats w/ leather, possibly the door panels too if i could find them. I've checked some auto salvages near by but no luck. I'm assuming all year contours seats are interchangable? but what about mystiques?

thanks

Mystique seats WILL fit. I found a Mystique with leather just keep looking around.

Personaly I like the look of the post98 lrather seats minus the built in armrest. However from a comfort aspect I'm gonna have to vote for the leather seats in my 95se. All the right support.

I'm looking for leather seats too (10-way power, tan) and from the pictures I've seen, I would HAVE to get Mystique seats to get the 10-way power. I've seen many 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998+ Contour seats, and they've all only been 6-way power ...so...yeah...I need tan leather seats, and they need to be 1995-1997 only...I need the cool bolsters

I've got a full set of 1995 Mystique Tan Leather Seats. If anyone is interested.

ooh ooh how much??? 10-way power?? good shape? that would look so cool! I want to keep my blue interior, but add tan seats...along with Atlantic Blue leather door panels and armrest from a Young America

The only cars I've seen with the leather door panels are on the SVT...so you'd have to get seats from one of those. Which limits your colors to Midnight Blue and Prairie Tan. And yes all the model years seats will interchange. Also, all of the leather interiors got a split/folding rear seat which, I don't believe, any of the cloth seats got. At least not after 98 they didn't, so you may need to pull your rear seat and make sure all the extra holes are there to mount the folding rear seat. In the 98+ all the holes are there but I don't know about the pre98's.

My 99 SE has split rear folding seats and cloth, so 98+ did come with cloth folding rear seats. FYI.

I stand corrected. Is your car a 'Sport' as well? I thought the sport package only had leather, maybe the cloth folding rear was uncommon. I've never seen one before.

Mystiques with leather came with matching door panels. All I need to do is find a Yound America edition Mystique, because they came with the same color interior as mine (Atlantic Blue)...and about not being able to have split folds with cloth? ALL Mystiques (atleast 1995-1997) came standard with 60/40 split fold rear seats.
