What's going on guys. Alright, check this, I have a 01 Alero sedan, with fabric seats. Now, I'd like to replace the seats with factory leather seats from an 03 Alero coupe.

Is this doable?

All I can picture is that the front seats fold down forward as an added bonus as compared to regular ones.

what you could do is pull the leather covers off the one set and then put them on yours. should work either way.

Seems like quite the task... removing and replacing covers. I figured it would be easier to just have the seat in and out. Hoping there would be no complications there.

Hey guys, just got off the phone with another auto-parts place that sells the leather seats. Howver, looks like I'm only having luck with seats for 2 doors instead of 4.

Although one of them mentioned that they're all the same except for the look of the back seat, another location said that the tracks are different. Any expert here that has more info on this?

I have a 2001 GX Sedan. The 2 vehicles that other seats are coming from are 2003 Coupes.

Also, if tracks are different, can I replace the ones in my vehicle to accomodate those seats?

the tracks are probably only different in that the passenger seat slides forward when you fold it in a coupe. And yes, the tracks can be independently changed, the dealer did it on mine under warranty. That is providing you get the same style track. If i remember right there are 4 different drivers side tracks (full power, partial power, manual w/height adjuster, manual w/o height adjuster) Though the passenger one is probably only the different one.

I'm not sure you'd have to change the tracks at all...I went the opposite direction on my old alero, I pulled the leather seats out of a 4 door and put them in my coupe and just bolted them right in...the only issue for me was getting them to fold foreward (which my dad actually figured out for me )
So as far as putting coupe seats in a sedan...I would think you could just stick them right in
