Do the power seats on a '97+ model still have manual recline, or is that power too? Also, where are the power seat controls located?
Thanks!
Thanks!

JEEPZZ said:All 97+ power seats have manual recline and all are height adjustable, although with the seat lowered all the way down you still sit about an inch & a half higher up than XJ's with manual seats.

JEEPZZ said:All of my headroom 'estimates' were through my personal 'seat of the pants' experience. Since I have 3 XJs out in the driveway, here's the tale of the tape:
(seat cushion to headliner)
97 manual seat, 36"
97 power seat, 35"
and just for kicks 87 power seats, 37"
measurement was taken with the power seat base at it's lowest setting
How 'bout them apples.
The manual seat bracket vs the power seat bracket are not identical.MAO said:...I never understood why. You would believe that identical brackets on identical floors...
JEEPZZ said:The manual seat bracket vs the power seat bracket are not identical. I guess it must be the apples again? :laugh2:
MAO said:My wife is a shrimp, so I only want to cut an inch out of the seat bracket as a last resort. And those apples must be getting rotten!:looney:
