Default Seat Backs interchangeable?

Anyone know if the just seat backs can be swapped?

You mean the front seat backs? Going from power to non power or the other way?

I've been looking i to this too. Not 100% sure.

They can be separated so I think they can be changed.

Yes, my drivers seat back has a rip in the outside bolster due to constant sun. The passenger side is near perfect.

So I guess my question is can the driver's side seat back be exchanged with the passenger side? Has anyone had two seats apart that can confirm?

Haven't tried yet but everything I've seen looks like it can be done.

I'm old school. My other car is a 72. I got some ***** here. Looks like two ***** if you ask me. Does that mean I have two-way seats? 2 * 2 equals 4 Way seats?

I have a similar situation and would be interested to know how to swap seat covers or source and install a new one. /X3

Yes, they lift and snap into place. I've removed my before. I'll admit, have patience or you could break the plastic fasteners. I believe they are hook type.

Not asking about the seat back centers, But the entire seat back frame.
