I am wanting to do the same to my 60/40 seats, but I am afraid I will get in way over my head if I start to do it. Let me know how it turns out.

Hey Grafix, give us the 411 on that power kit. I hate trying to reach over and roll up/down my pass window when I'm driving!

that might be a cool thread on how to install the kit as well. Is the motor included in the kit?

I didnt want power windows because I had failed motors on other vehicles in the past, but if comes with all you need in the kit for $60, I am game

Well I bought my expedition console for this sole purpose but was debating buying new seats or re-upholstering my 60/40 bench to make it happen... sure enough for myself it was cheaper to re-upholster.

So after about a month of hassling my upholstery shop to take the truck in (as they are backed up due to the snow) they finally took it in to work on. After just under a day of work I got the truck back last week after they finished and must say I am more then happy/surprised with the results.

Passenger Seat Corner... looks 100% factory
I purchased an expedition seat leg from a fellow member on the board, they did however supply a retraction bar which they included for free with the install as my original retraction bar went all the way across the seat/bench... while the new one is just the seat.


Final Product...nice and snug...
Hate the tan colour but no biggy waiting for warm weather so i can paint it to match...


Storage... finally gotta love it...


Final Product... factory fit... factory look...


--

still waiting on warmer weather to do my power windows...

Looks great, I wish I had the courage to take on this project. I really want to do it, but I'm afraid I will get the seats out and realize it's a bigger project than I thought or not have the right parts for the job.
