2004 EB power seat & heated seat issue

[JD's 2004]

Hi everyone - I'm new here. I purchased this vehicle about 2 years ago. It's just a winter suv so it's not driven very much. The gentleman that owned the vehicle before me was rather large and the seat is a tad bit loose. Is there a way to tighten it up? I also have an issue with the button for the heated seat (drivers side on the side of the seat). It will turn on but turning it off is almost impossible. I have to slam it every time. The passenger side has no problems. Can anyone help?? Thanks!!

Maybe an automotive upholsterer can help you out, or every junkyard I've been in, has an abundance of Explorers. Probably can find a good used seat there.

I've been looking. Haven't found one yet. My drivers seat is in really good condition and when I was looking for an Explorer I was picky about the seats. I have replaced more than I anticipated on this vehicle and may actually sell it soon. I really wanted an Expedition but didn't want the big V8 again so I settled for this one with the V6. I'm currently looking for an Expedition but again, I am being picky and have all the time in the world since it is just a winter car.

I would replace the button. They are known to go bad and are pretty cheap. I had to replace mine due to s similar issue.
