I just came across a set of navy blue leather front seats and rear seats for 300 bucks and they are in perfect condition. in my 99 contour lx i have ugly cloth seats with some weird pattern. is it possible to put these leather ones in? they are out of a 1998 contour svt they look the exact same but leather but i wanted to make sure before i bought them. thanks

hardest part is the door-side seatbelt anchor. It's mounted to the seat with a thread-cutting torx bolt, and there's no room for a bit. I used visegrips to get mine out. Test out the SVT seats real well, I found them to be too "bouncy".

Ah, so that's what a visegrip is. I had always heard someone say, "I've got your balls in a visegrip," but I never knew what that meant until today. I assumed it was just a really tight fist grip.

It gives that comment a whole new meaning to me...

Thanks ibub
