6th gen front seats in 5th gen

Added 6th gen 2004-2006 dual power/heated front seats in my 5th gen. Process was pretty simple by swapping the rails/tracks from the 5th gen seat to the 6th gen seat cushions.

Thanks. No frame modifications needed just swap over and use the harness plugs. Seat airbag connections were the same.. I collect parts sometimes lol but I found these at the junkyard. When I get a chance I'm going to test fit a 7th gen seat in the 5th gen.

I have 7th gen seats but never got to swap them. Seats have been sitting in my basement too long... Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days.

Sweet, good to know this is doable. What exactly is the process for swapping the seats off the frames? Idk where i would even start lol, if you could give a brief rundown on how to do that id be very thankful. Just so happened to find someone with a very nice set of black leather 6th gen seats, been looking to replace my nasty tan interior for some time now.
