Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting oh, my achin' seat

I'm taking my car in on Tuesday to the dealer to have my driver's seat looked at. It wobbles side-to-side a bit and it's a little disconcerting. I made the appt and got transfered to the parts department right after. The guy told me that Ford sells the seats in pieces, not as complete sets...they want $13 for the hardware (no sweat) but they want $300 for the upholstery and $100 for the pad...and that's just for the seat bottom!!!! What the...? I'm gonna try to hit the boneyard on Saturday, but daggone--what gives??
