G6 seats (Page 1/3)
qwikgta SEP 09, 07:10 PM
went by my local pick a part because they have a 87 Coupe in the yard. I wasn't expecting much because the car had been there for two weekends now, but I did find a brand new radiator overflow and windshield fluid containers. Nice and white and clean. I've been looking for a overflow bottle for a while now, every one I find has one or both of the mounting tabs broken. anyway, when I was done removing the parts I started to walk the yard to see what else I "needed to buy". I found a G6 with both the front buckets removed and just sitting in the car, looks like someone was trying to get the steering and center console parts and for some reason removed the seats. I looked them over and they are in perfect shape, so I loaded them up in my wagon and left. Got a great deal on them, they only charged me $35 bucks a piece and another $10 for the two bottles.

I measured the seats and once you remove all the plastic crap on the bottom they are the same size as the stock Fiero seats. They are taller but again that is because of the huge rail that is on the bottom of them. I measured the seats w/out the rail and they are only 1/2 taller than the stock seats. It looks like the rails will unbolt and then I can start fabing up some brackets to make them fit onto the Fiero seat rails. I did a search to see if anyone had mounted up G6 seats and I got back a ton of threads about G6's and about seats, but not any real info on installing them. anyway, not sure when I'll get to this, but it doesn't look that difficult. I'll take some pics as I do the install

Those should look great in the car and that's a heck of a good price for them. Nice score.

Nice score - those should look great! Keep us up to date and POST PICTURES!! If this works, I might start looking for some G6 seats. Great deal!

And off topic - what's up with your spoiler? Looks all "chewed up". Is that just a bad picture or did something happen?

Been thinking about this swap since I rode in my buddy's g6 gtp.
seats are super comfy, good bolstering.

I will be following this

Haha. I think it's a towel with the edge just along the spoiler, that makes it look that way. I see an interior piece sitting on the decklid, so presumably a towel is there to protect it.

yea, its just a towel I put on the deck lid w/ all the interior parts I picked up a few weeks ago. I'm thinking about a color change and I have collected a gauge surround, shift surround, aux gauge, and radio/temp surround. Thinking about sending them off to be covered w/ leather.

Please let me know how they work out.
I own a 2010 G6 GT, and I believe the Fiero seats actually feel more comfortable to me. Seems like I sit on the G6 seats, while I sit in the Fiero seats.
The tradeoff is, the G6 seats have lots more things to adjust, assuming you got the GT power seats.
YMMV.

As with most seats, the angle of the seat bottom is created by the rails. The Fiero is unusual in that the seat bottom itself is wedge shaped, with flat rails. When you adapt it, be sure to account for that difference in angle, or you'll be sliding down out of the seat.

When I had the stock Fiero seat sitting next to the G6 one I noticed the exact same thing. The wedge at the front forces your butt back into the seat. You could really tell that if you didn't "lift" the front of the G6 seat up about 2" that you would do exactly as you said, "fall off". The bottom of the G6 seats have plate that forms the "lift" to the stock rails, it looks like I could leave the front one on, cut off the rear one and then I'd get the lift in the front. Its just so funny you pointed this out, because I saw the exact same thing as you described.

Yes, these are the GT ones, Power and both are "Heated" but I don't think i'll use the heat.
