Purchasing the hardware from Ford will kill you in comparison to finding it from a wrecked Contour with that option.

There is nothing for the bolts to grab on like on the 60/40s' there is a metal plate behind the seat. So unles you do the swap like i did , you might as well leave it like it is.

On the bright side, my whole fold down setup including new shelf and brake light was only about $125 from the junkyard.... I'm here for a good time, not a long time. '96 GL Zetec ATX (R.I.P.)
