Default 1997 accord leather interior options/questions

ok I have EX model with leather interior. After 439K miles the driver side seat is just ripped to shreds, very embarrassing.

My questions are
What years would fit perfectly without modifications? going to try to find a pair of front leather seats from the junk yard.

Would newer years fit, using their seat track, but my power seat controls?

or could I transfer my seat track to newer seats?

again looking for junk yard deals or ebay.

Thanks

Chris

If you are in the U.S. then find other '94-'97 EX Leather Accord with the same color interior.
I am not sure if Coupe/Sedan/Wagons use different front seats, however I can say that the drivers seat on the Coupe does have a pouch for passengers, while the Sedan does not. Also I feel much higher up in the '97 Sedan than the '95 Coupe, but I have never checked to see if the seat tracks are different, floor board is different, or if simply the '95s cushion is sagging.

The leather seats came with and without full power adjustment. Not a big deal except the full power seats weigh a lot more and are somewhat a pain to work with. I have looked for leather seats for years and I have never found a drivers seat that wasn't worn out. Rears you can find, not fronts. Leather just doesn't hold up. And for what it's worth, a Gen 6 seat will almost fit. The spacing in the rails is about a 1/2 inch off. I suppose it could be made to fit.
