That's because your car apparently already had '96-99 seats. tongue.gif

Nope I doubt that any other previous owner would have swapped the seats out to the later model seats. I'm pretty sure mine were the originals.

Easiest way to tell is the plastic trim on the sides of the seat bottom. If it extends all the way down the side and the bottom height knob sits on top of the panel it's '94-95, if it only goes about half way and the height knob is directly atop the seat cover it's '96-99. I just remember the '96-99 cushion would not fit onto the '94-95 pan. Though going back and looking it seems your cushion hangs way over the pan in the pack, so it probably is the earlier.

The plastic trim on mine extends the full length of the cushion and the height knob sits atop some plastic trim. I know it's 94-95. I remember I used a guide on here by like amc moe or someone.

Did my seats last weekend.

Tip: Put the seat together with the exception of one side of the seat back. Leave it unbolted. The crossbar is a pain to line up. Tip the seat on its side (bolts down). Move the seatback to the side enough to lower the crossbar down into the hole. You can peek on the other end under the back of the seat and see where the one end will fall to. Make note of the location of the groove where the crossbar will lock into. Turn the crossbar on the other end until it lowers onto the pin and locks into position. Let gravity do the work. You may need to reach in with your pinky finger to line up the crossbar with the pin. Once it locks into place, it will be in the correct position on the other side. Lift up a bit on the unbolted end and lower onto the pin. Bolt it up. Done.

I spent way too much time attempting to line it up horizontally and clumsily trying to bolt it up only to have it fall apart.

This may seem vague. When you do the switch, it will make sense.

$30 CDN? You scored! I pd $150 US and thought I had a great deal. smile.gif

I need to do a better job of keeping an eye out for leather 6GC/7GC seats, as I'd like to put them into any car I would buy.

Yes Its true I got my 7th gen seats on my 95' seat rails. Took about 3 hours and the driver side was more trouble than the passenger side. here is a pic of the finished product. I double padded the driver side cushion for extra comfort!!

Yes. How the seat bolts to the floor is the same 94-99. The only difference was in 96 the way the pan bolts to the rails changed. Coupes seats very seats and hatch seats all bolt in the same way.
