I installed a passenger seat module into the driver's seat and it worked! Now I have both 6 way power seats working and no more worries with the memory option. Life is good! |cheers|

Here's the rundown:The seats are still on C5 tracks. I cut the "curl" off the front of the tracks and redrilled the floorpan. The holes actually were only about an inch or 2 off from originals and ended up in the reinforcement plates. They are six way power w/lumbar. The motors fit fine due to the original recess in the floorpan. I left the original bolt flange on the back of the C5 tracks to bolt down the backs and used the hole closest to the front in the tracks to do the front and used carriage bolts. The only problem I'm having is bypassing the Memory module for the drivers seat. Passenger seat works great. I'm 6'1" and to me the ride height is great. It's a convertible and I still have at least 2-3" clearance with the top up. They are far more comfortable and the look of the seatbacks sitting just above the rear deck just looks great to me.

Wow, that really looks great. I was told the power seats would sit too high for our cars. Yours look just right!
