I had gotten the seats out over last weekend and of course I showed the pass seat previously but here they are now ready to be installed. The shine will die down after soaking for a few days. As dry as they were I felt it wouldn't hurt.

Previously removed the steering column for clean up and turns out the lower bearing was trash so it'll get a disassembly, clean and new lower and since they do not sell the bearing for the upper and since it is staked into the aluminum housing it would be a possible issue but thankfully the upper bearing on mine was good just needed repacking with grease. Lower bearing was ordered from Ground Up (ss396.com).
