Ford removed features from the cars to reduce cost (Decontenting: For instance light in glove box. Newer contours 99 on..no light, older contours: light)
Recontenting is putting back in a newer vehicle the items Ford pulled out to cheapen the car.

Decontent: when a manufacturer removes certain features in a car.
Recontent: when a car owner (or manufacturer sometimes) puts in what the manufacturer has removed.
The best example of this in our cars is in the '98 model year when Ford took out (decontented) the dash clock and replaced it with a plastic bezel that said "Contour" on it. Someone wrote a howto to put the clock in the '98E1 and newer 'tours (recontent).

I can't believe Ford intentionally left off those braces.

The thing that bugs me is that Ford didn't put fold down rear seats in 99. I ordered my car from the dealer and they said I couldn't get them.

There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Isn't that just the wrong way?
Yeah, but faster!

Can't be right, my 99 has fold down seats.

I don't know. My father-in-law was the leasing manager at the dealer and thats who we bought it from. But we ordered it in Dec 98 so it was a "99". Maybe the put them back in late 99.
