Installing non-oem seats --- Rail question

[93SOHC]

got a good bit and plenty of punches. thanks again

To replace the gliders you would have to drill out the rivets that keep the tracks from separating. The rivets are pretty soft though and its easily done. Just use a center punch to start the drill on center and use some cutting oil at low rpm. I can post more pics if you need them.

Replace these gliders. You probably have a broken one.

so I have to disassemble the rails I would assume. when I took the cushions off the frames the rails were extremely over greased as well. I would assume I have 4 broken gliders case both seats do the same thing. If only there were 1 festiva in any junkyard near me...

I REALLY wanna put my extra turbo coupe seats in my festiva. I do NOT want the power in the drivers seat though. That one seat has to weigh a good 80 lbs alone.

I did 92-93 Mx-3 seats. Was going to fab something to use the Mazda brackets but seemed like a p.i.t.a. so I had to use the festiva rails on the mazda seats. So now I have comfy seats but they still rock up and down. Any idea how to stop the wobble from stock festiva seat rails?

Muscle_Car1,

Thanks for spending the time on that writeup -- I'm picking up some protege/escort GT seats on Tuesday, and I'll def be referring to it.

If shipping wasn't so expensive Doug I would pull a set from the local pull a part for you. I think they are only $20-25 per seat. I saw a good passenger one there the other day, but the driver had a hole in the left outter lumbar area. Hopefully in a couple months I will have some festiva seats reupholstered. I have the two sets that I took out of my festivas in the garage, so I am going to take them appart and do a custom job on them in a few months....when I get time:-)
