My seat rail broke

[CanaryGT]

So I think my seats broken. 1st off it rocks back and forth and second I cannot lower the drivers seat. I moved it up to clean underneath and now its stuck. Any suggestions??

i think its tome for some corbearus.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

HAHA you sound like me. I broke the welds and i had to throw my pass seat into my driver side.

 

[Hoseitdown]

Is it the power seat track ?? If it is ditch it and get a Manual one that's what i am doing. That's really about all you can do right now since you snapped the track like me. That was the only option.

Yeah My welds broke. Can I just buy a manual track seat or should I just buy a racing seat? Like a Hunsaker cause I cannot afford the CR1's I want ATM.

Well you have to have a seat track for the seat to bolt to whichever seat you get. If the Hunsaker comes with a seat track then by all means do it. I am replacing my snapped power seat track with a manual one. The driver and pass seat track are interchangeable.

 

[CanaryGT]

Yeah my only dilemma is that I really want the CR1 and im not the type to settle. However the hunsaker is a really good seat alternative because of the cost. Ive just read bad reviews about them.

This is very common! Mine has broke in several spots and i keep rigging it and it just broke again. Luckily a member here was selling one so its on the way

They are on ebay all the time.

In 99' Ford stopped making the rail out of Aluminum because it was such a big issue on 94-98's.

Its easy to swap one out and if you are tall you can do the Mustang World seat modification and gain another 2 inches. I did it and it was perfect.

before I bought corbeaus I was driving around w/ my stock bracket broken too. I had an old phone book stuck under there and you'd never know it was broken...lol.

 

[CanaryGT]

Im so torn. I want to buy the corbeau but that money for a single seat is ridiculous.

I went to the JY and grabbed a passneger side seat bracket off a v6.. cost me $10 and allowed me to wait till I had the funds to buy my new seats!

I also have a spare set of brackets in my garage

 

[CanaryGT]

So I can have one for 10 bucks :wave:

 

[Addermk2]

sure... if you pay for shipping

 

[Spd0lit]

or you could just reweld it. I have the same problem and i just welded it back up.

 

[Addermk2]

my power seat rail was aluminum... cant really weld that

 

[Spd0lit]

yea, thats why i used a tig welder on the rail.

I'm fixing a rail on our race car, these seem under-designed. Seat rail was already repaired at the bend by prior owner, but it was insufficient.
I also noticed a crack in the floorboard near the rear seat bolts, is this common, or WTF?
