4th gen and 3rd gen seat weight???

So im thinking about picking up a set of 4th gen seats for my t/a, (my seats have a tear in them, so they need to go anyway)

Anyway, the seats im looking at are cloth, with no power options, same with my third gen seats, i was wondering if anyone has weighed the seats to see if there is any weight loss or gain.

Your 3rd gen seat should weigh in at about 32lbs (seems high, but that is what I've read here on TGO). Just so that you have that # if you can find a 4th gen seat weight.
