every thing plugs right in. the only wiring required was because we swapped rails. the rails allow for fwd/bwd adjustment and the wire for that had to be tapped.

- Socket Set
- Wrench Set
- Drill + Steel Drill bit
- Dremel
- Jigsaw/Sawzill + Quality Hard Steel bit
- A ton of large washers
Time Required
- Two Evenings/One weekend
Directions
- Remove OEM Seat and place next to 07 seat
- Remove rails with Socket/Wrench Set
- Place OEM Rails and 07 rails side by side
- Trim off the excess steel with Jigsaw from the OEM rails so that they match the 07 rails as closely as possible
- Grind out the gritty steel with dremel
- Line up OEM rail to 07 seat
- Drill the appropriate holes so that the 07 bolts fit the OEM Rails
- Attach
- Solder/tap/ rail wire (a blue and white one) to the 07 seat wire (also blue and white). This wire adjusts fwd and bkwd movement.
- Every other wire plugs right in!
- Use washers on passanger side seat to chassis bolts so that the seat is level. I used 5 on both the right hand side bolts.
Without the washers, the seat will sit like \
with this setup, I retained at least 90-95% of the seats maneuverability. Even so, the 07 seat still moves further back, further up/down right left than my 05 seat.
no...it isnt the sport seat. the price for the new seat was sooooooooo cheap that I just had to take it regardless. When we find a sport seat I will swap out the drivers side
Iam quite sure that it is impossible to use the 07 rails on your first gen. the 07 rails are closer together than the 05 rails. also, the 07 rails do not match the 05 floor at all.

and even if it didnt, all you would have to do is take out the 07 heater thingy and swap it with your 05. everything bolts right up.
