Ford Explorer: Need Explorer Leather Seats

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.
Jack

Re: Need Explorer Leather Seats
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,
Jack

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
