I wanted aftermarket seats, but not cheap-looking aftermarket seat sliders. And with my long legs, I didn't want to give up the ability to adjust the seat bottom angle for thigh support. So I bought some salvage Navigator seat tracks to adapt to my Corbeaus. The Navi tracks have 6-way power and electric lumbar switches on both the driver and passenger sides. The only downside is weight. The pair weighs 44 lbs., whereas aftermarket sliders would be maybe 10.
The challenge was getting the three motors wired to the switch. This is compounded by the fact that the passenger track I bought had no harness, and the driver's side was useless because it was for a memory seat, where everything plugs into the seat computer -- which I don't have. The Navi wiring diagram is useless. The eight wires from the 6-way switches are not color coded. Using a pinout diagram, I was able to see The Matrix. |

tracks, with the adapter plates for the Corbeaus:

the green (+12v) and black (ground) wires. I used a two-pin
Weatherpack connector on the harness to the seat. |

LUMBAR: I installed a set of Rostra power lumbar kits.

Thanks to Corbeau's use of Velcro
for the seat back and bottom cover, installation of the bag and pump was
a breeze.

Adapting the Corbeau seat bottom to the tracks
is easy. The hard part is getting everything wired up.
For
the passenger side power, I just tapped into the driver's side.
They share the same fuse, but since they will never be used at the same
time, I didn't see any problem there.
