So I found leather seats from a 2004 Mazda 3. Would they fit in a 2006?
I'm assuming they will. Anybody know of anything wrong with this?

Also if I want to sell my regular cloth ones how much should I put them up for?

yes they would fit an 06. lol why not keep them just in case you don't like the leather?

There's several posts regarding this. I have 05\06 seats to an 04 and some tweaking needs done

Refer to airbag sensor on chair thread

The guy told me that there's no airbag in an 04.so this won't have air bags

but I'm pretty sure your 06 does.
If so, your 06 will be looking for a matching air bag sensor (which won't be there on the 04 seats), throwing a warning light on your dash

No, i'm going to be sticking with leather for sure. But don't really know how much these cloth seats are worth, which I want to find out.

I have the 3i model which doesn't contain the air bags

its a pita to do the swap out. The way the seatbelt connector wire is on the GT is different then on the base model. I went through this on RJ3's car, the job is completely doable just more time consuming.

I'll have to do a little bit of research, I remeber reading something about a seat swap-out to make sure I get everything done right.
either way I'm going this weekend to toronto to get the seats, since it's such a good price.

Also second question any idea how much I could sell my old ones?

I read this post:http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?39478-Mazda-3-Seat-swap-(cloth-to-leather)-help!&highlight=seat

And the guy changed the railings from his old seats to his new seat...is that what I'm supposed to do?
