Both seats power ?

Was there any year or option package that had power tracks on both front seats ? Or, is there any way to retrofit a power track to the pass seat ? The misses wants to go up and down and back and forth too.

I'm not sure if you could get thirdgens with the power passenger seat from the factory. however, you could use the power seat track off a 4th gen passenger seat. The only problem you may run into is mounting the controls to the seat, you may have to custom fab a mount if you use the stock 3rd gen seat.

It was an option, I'm not sure how common it was to have both powered, but I have seen a few 4th gens with both tracks powered.

you may even be able to get the parts new still.

I've considered the pass side power seat for some time. I believe the thirdgen power base will fit and wiring up wouldn't be difficult. The problem, especially for me with twin Lear/Seigler Conteurs, is mounting/fabing a housing for the switch.
