Power seats on a 56 Commander

Jun 12, 2006 7 Replies

My wife wants me to put power seats on the 56 wagon. But I don't want to change the seats that are in there. Any suggestions. I am 6-2 and she is 5-5 so it is alot of pulling on the seat



Try and find a set of Lincoln Versailles split bench seats. You won't regret it...

Install OEM power seats!

just take the bottom cushion out and lube the sliders real well, make sure that the latches release smoothly and easily, and make sure all springs are in place. Have her try it and see if she still wants power seats.

good luck

I hear what you're saying but IME any car over 5 years old needs a good greasing of the seat tracks to work well, even on a 15 year old VW a good cleaning with some carb cleaner and a toothbrush and some synthetic bearing grease made the difference between having the adjustment be a chore and being able to adjust the seat easily even without having to sit in it (important back when I still lived with my parents; my mom is shorter enough than I that I can't physically get behind the wheel if she doesn't move the seat back before getting out of the car.)

Power seat frames change the driving position. The track is entirely different. I put Power Seats in my Hawk, the front to rear motion also changes the pitch of the seat. Think twice. Plus you will need to make the floor thicker where the screw motor is secured. BG
