Driver's Seat Repair 2001 Gr. Cherokee
My Jeep's driver's seat (the electric, automatic type) is almost completely detached from the bracket. The metal has evidently become fatigued, and split and broken off. It is really not driveable, but I'm driving it anyway because I need to get to work! Also, the end of the bar that raises the seat up and down are broken.
I've asked my mechanic to search out a junkyard seat bracket for replacement, but apparently this is a known issue with this model, and there are simply no seats to be found. I did find a site that offers a replacement (and supposedly stronger) seat bracket kit: http://www.jeepseatbracket.com/the-problem.html. The photos show precisely what is wrong with my seat. Has anyone ever dealt with this company? I've called the toll-free number for a couple days running, and have been forwarded into their voicemail. I wouldn't hesitate to order the repair kit online if I could get a positive heads-up from someone who has successfully dealt with Jeepseatbracket.com. Perhaps there are other repair kit companies that could be recommended? I could get a new kit from the dealer for $800, but that's outside my budget right now. Alternatively, does anyone have a seat they want to sell me (hehe)? Thanks very much for any help -- much appreciated! |

But you might have some luck looking for a seat on this Grand Cherokee forum. >http://www.nagca.com/forum/ Then look in the For Sale Section. Good luck. |
Go to the boneyard and pull the brackets off of another power seat out of the same year ZJ.

Just take your seat out, and take to someone who has a mig welder...

Jeep Seat Bracket
I just completed a repair using the jeepseatbracket kit. I would recommend this to everyone. They have 2 different versions and I purchased the New Deluxe Kit (No Drilling) for $199. This was a fairly easy install.
My Carmax location wanted $550 in advance for a replacement frame and would install the frame once in came in for another $250. |
