I picked up a pair of KK seats this morning.
This afternoon I attempted installing the passenger seat.
I have cloth manual seats but they have proven to be a difficult install.
The seats are out of a 2011 KK.
The passenger side...
First, if your KJ seat has the butt pressure switch, the easiest way to deal with this is to just swap the whole butt pressure pad, sensor, and harness to the KK seat.
It's a lot easier than it seems.
Just lift up the seat cushion and gently slide the pad out. Then slide the pad into the KK cushion. The harness swaps over and is pretty self explanatory.
Second, the seat mounts that bolt to the floor are not exactly the same as the KJ.
So far, I have removed some carpet and insulation and used a hammer and punch to reshape some of the floor board.
I'm done for today. Will get back at it tomorrow.
Awesome!! My driver seat lined up just fine, maybe the seat frame is tweaked? I haven't tried the full range yet as the power seat wiring is not connected at the moment. I'm glad to hear the seat pressure pad is easily swapped over. So I don't need to mess with the hog rings then? Just take the slip cover off and slide it out?
Thanks!

Yup.
Just unclip the front seat cover at the front of the seat frame. Lift the seat cushion and pry loose the two plastic clips that hold the pressure pad. Gently slide the pad out.
Installation in the KK seat is just the reverse. There are holes in the KK seat frame for the plastic clips to snap into.
The passenger side KK seat floor mounts are a different contour than the KJ seat. Basically, the KJ carpet and insulation gets in the way of the KK mount and the mount will not sit flat like it should. The KJ mount cannot be swapped onto the KK seat.
The KK seat frame mounts to the floor mounts through a set of pressure sensors. The nut/bolt from the sensor mount goes through the floor mount and hits the floorboard, keeping the floor mount from sitting flat. Removing some carpet and insulation has helped a bit. Hammering a recess into the floor board should help some more.
There is also a wiring harness directly underneath the floor mount. I dont want that wiring getting crushed/pinched in the process.
I plan to work with it some more this afternoon.
