    Just curious cause my brother in law may end up getting a new car soon and he doesn't really know what to do with his 2003 Accord. I've driven the car before and the seats are nice and comfortable and I've been trying to figure out for a while now if they would fit into the Maverick easily. Obviously the tracks would be a prob since it would need some adjustments. Has anyone tried putting any Honda seats inside their Mavs?

    I put '96 Civic seats in my car. It is not a bolt in, and you have to make the mounts for the seat rails. I used 2.5" angle aluminum to bolt to the rails, mainly because the seats mount from the side, not the bottom like the Ford seats do. If you take your time, and get the seats level and straight, they are comfortable and work well. Good luck,

    Very comfortable seats, and fairly small and narrow, so they fit well. But a major hassle to get mounted.

    I used mine until I found some stock Mav seats to drop in there with the stock seat brackets.
