- 1998 Explorer XLT
Hi all,
I have a '98 Explorer XLT with 244,000 miles on it. The drivers seat like many of yours is wearing out. I have replaced the power track once already with NOS but the cloth seat and the bottom foam cushion are not long for this world.
I have searched and searched trying to find replacement foam but have been unable and there are none in stock with Ford. I have found the seat covers NOS on ebay and if I'm lucky will have a new set this weekend.
So here is my question after reading some posts about interior upgrades.
Can I install a replacement seat from a different year range?
Will the bolt patterns match or will I need to drill new holes and uses big washers?
Can you bolt just the seat onto the track and not have to worry about how they mount to the floor?
Thanks in advance.
