Help...Mitsubishi dealer says Eclipse rear seats are different than Talon rear seats

[nerfbars]

I just listed an ebay auction for some leather seat backs "backrest" part for the rear seat. I had the left and right side listed in seperate auctions. I listed them to fit all 2G Talon's and Eclipse's. This woman won my auctions and now she doesnt think they will fit her Eclipse since there from a Talon. She went to a Mitsubishi dealer to double check and they told her they would not work and that they are different. Is this right? They look like every Eclipse seat I've ever seen.

BS! How could they not fit? As long as they're both for 50/50 seats they're gonna be the same. The interior is identical regardless of make.

If you show me a pic, I can tell you if they're the same as mine. (someone else will probably just tell you of course.. )

My guess is the dealer is either just plain ignorant about it, or wants her to spend money with them.

Agreed

Thats what I was thinking Here they are.

They'll work. Tell her you'll take them back if they don't fit (ONLY if they don't fit).

 

[SoilentGreen98]

They look normal to me. I'm gonna agree with that possibilty of dealer ignorance. They just wanna sell the seats they have at a jacked up price.

They do seem to be a little different as far as the pattern of the leather, but the shape's the same.. I'd do what Slipstream suggested, but there shouldn't be a problem. Feel free to show her my pic for comparison if you like.

And some still wonder why we continue to call the dealer Satan.

my rear seat is actually from a talon. I traded my rear and some money to get a reupholstered rear but got ripped off. Never got anything. So I had to go find a new seat. All I could find in good shape was a talon.

Thanks for the info guys. I just found out that she had the one piece rear seat back, not the two piece like I'm selling. Sounds like she may be able to drill and tap a bolt hole to make it work. I dont know if that will fly for her though. Thanks for all the help!
