    Need Explorer Leather Seats

    Evening folks,

    Looking to replace the cloth seats in my 1997 Explorer, XLT with Leather
    Seats. Need 2 complete front seats and complete set of rear seats in any
    shade of gray or black.

    I'm located in Rhode Island

    Also, can anyone advise, can other year Explorer seats can be interchanged
    with my 1997 and still have the same design, have the same power seat
    electrical connections and will the mounting brackets fit properly?

    So far I've checked with auto salvage yards within a 200 mile radius and no
    luck yet.

    Any help locating appreciated!

    Regards,
    Jack Kelly

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I've already checked ebay and the grey leather seats which are offered have
    contrasting piping...in green or burgandy. Anyone know if grey leather
    seats are available without contrasting piping?

    These are a little pricey but might just be what you're looking for.
    On Trucks broadcasted on "Spike TV" they installed similar covers a
    month or two ago, they were installed on an Explorer around your year.
    Surprisingly they only have plastic long-style clips that hold the
    stock covers in place and they come right off, which exposes the foam
    and Velcro.
    Hope this helps,
    Joe

    hmm..I see several seats for sale in various colors and years. What
    search keywords did you use?

    I just used "explorer seats".

    Also there's guy named "recycleyard" you may be able to email
    directly. I've seen his name pop up a lot selling Explorer stuff,
    especially seats.

    I'm personally looking for a power front passengers seat for my 03 XLT
    in tan but $$ is preventing me from doing that anytime in the near
    future.

    BTW, anyone know if the requisite wiring is already there for such a
    hook up?

    Re: Need Explorer Leather Seats

    I have emailed the ebay seller "recycleyard" in Pittsburgh (very helpful he
    is) and he had 2 sets of grey (one with green piping and 1 with
    burgandy)...but he lists the front seats in 1 auction and the matching rear
    seats in another auction and they just sold this evening to 2 seperate
    buyers...my fear about buying on ebay is that I may get either the front or
    the rear seats and loose out of the matching seats to another bidder who's
    willing to go more than the extra yard to get them. So all in all I'm a
    little shy about attempting to buy seats on ebay.

    You'er right I'll keep plugging along and something will pop up locally.

    Thanks everyone for you suggestions and help.

    Now Joe that is a good lead. A bit pricy but at least they will all match
    and should be in top notch condition. But not sure I'd want to take on the
    job of installing them myself. I read through the installation instructions
    and one slip and I'll have enough grey leather to make a lot of shoe laces
    ;-)

    Thanks for the lead,

    Well the only way the seats would be loose is if you don't tighten them
    down!

    but you should bid accordingly to make sure you don't LOSE to another bidder
