Now that I got the '97, when the time comes to switch cars I'll need to resolve some seat & cover issues mostly revolving around the driver's seats.

Please bear with me as I try to describe my concerns here...:

'94 Aero (my daily driver presently):
Driver's seat had a bad controller so I swapped another in that works, but=>
Its stuffing has gotten pretty well pulverized over time & it has 1 or 2 split seams.
I covered it with a high back cloth cover, then added a 2nd when the 1st got too loose.
The cloth is a nuisance as it needs to be pulled into place about every time I get in or out.

'97 Aero (replacement car):
Spent lots of its life in a hot, dry climate with zero leather care & the cover is cracking; also, the controller, motors or ?? are only intermittently functioning.

I also have a CSE parts car with regular seats that may have good motors, etc., but its been very long since I looked, so that's iffy.

My 1st seat concern is keeping the (real) leather surface and possibly re-covering it somehow, so I've searched for leather covers & only find the fake & semi-fake (PU) covers...not good.

So I'm considering if & how I may be able to combine seat parts from the 2 Aeros to somehow get ONE totally decent driver's seat out of the deal.

I do not care a'tall about the colours; my goal is to have a mostly working, whole seat that will possibly outlast my old self.

Another specific question I'd appreciate getting (re ?) answered if possible:
Is there a manual way to adjust the electric seats with a crank or something ??

I'll greatly appreciate any pointers, education or sources for stuff to accomplish my goals here.

Thanks for any helpul replies.
