Thanks for the heads up on the seat base while using some aftermarket seats from another thread. I have seen it done both ways in various other models and configurations.

My question is: Will we have to remove the original (existing) seat base in total before we install replacement (Buick) seats? Or would we install the replacement seats on to of the existing base?

Our seat base got welded in at some point, and I don't want to start cutting if I don't have to.

That was me (or at least I was one of them) that posted about leaving in the seat riser. I got some 2000 Buick LeSabre seats and they fit without the riser, but I have to raise them all the way up (they are powered seats). If I had left the riser, I could have used them in the lowered position and still had room for a shorter driver to raise the seats.

Thanks, Craig! That was exactly what I needed to know. We are currently searching for the 20XX year model seats, and just wanted to make sure before we got too far into it.

Thanks for the follow up!
