Years ago, someone suggested swapping the driver and passanger seats (assuming that they are identical) on a mileage based interval - inorder to balance out the wear and tear (because the driver seat is always occupied, while the passanger seat always has less usage).
I'm making a list for my 100k anniversary tuneup and thought I'd try swapping seats. Has anyone had experience in removing the seats and disconnecting the various electric connections? Just wondering how big a job this might turn out to be...

I was thinking about your seat swap idea last night. I dont think its a job for a rookie. I have never seen a seat as advanced as they are in the Rora
Dual lumbar, heat elements, zillion way movment and more wiring then you can shake a stick at. It seems very daunting. I was taking a look at other cars. Some have the controls on the side of the seat, makes it hard to swap the seats.

That's an interesting idea. The seat-mounted belts, controls, and airbags on the 2001+ means it's a classic-only thing.

Don't you classic guys & gals have all seat controls on the doors? If the seats are identical, it cannot be that difficult to unbolt the seats and unhook a couple of wire harnesses. But luxury seats are heavy and a royal PITA to move.

plus the under-seats are different for each side, passenger side has the pumps for the lumbar and things of the sort.

Good idea Spinman. I had the power seat fixed in my truck by a kid a my regular repair shop who formerly worked at the auto upholstry shop. It was relatively cheap, and that was with a lot of welding and such that was needed for the repair. I'm sure he could do this job, so maybe you might get a quote from a local auto upholstry shop in your area? Could be cheaper in the end than screwing something up bad.
