Title: 63 1/2 500XL bucket seat
Post by: olman on July 09, 2020, 05:05:53 PM

I also posted this on Ford Muscle Car Forum

   While I have my bucket seats and console out for new carpet, I decided to take the rear insert off of the drivers side bucket seat. What I found was a piece of 1/8 inch tempered hardboard in very deteriorated condition that has the vinyl and a thin piece of fiberglass looking insulation glued and stapled to it. It is held to the seatback by 9 door panel clips....... Question, is this the original setup that came from the factory, or someones 'better idea' when they replaced the original piece of whatever was there from the factory?  I'm hoping one of you 63 1/2 500XL owners will chime in that may have changed out the original upholstery for replacement
        Thanks for reading this and hopefully responding to it.    Bud in Winslow Az

That's factory. All 62 and 63 XLs are made that way.
