What is the differences between ‘89 GT seats and ‘90 GT convertible seats. I have a’90 GT convertible parts car. But my ‘89 GT didn’t have any
front seats when I bought it.

Convertible front seats have a stopper that prevents them from reclining. I think it can be removed though to allow full recline.

I have a 89 gt and I sold my 92 vert a few years ago, yeah that still hurts, anyway the gt, I think they were called 'sport seats', have a adjustable knee bolster, my lx vert had a sport seat but no adjustable knee bolster, the gt vert still had them I think.

84-91 seats all had the pull out leg bolster setup, so both 89 and 90 had that feature.

Two major differences between 89 GT and 90GT seats.

The 87-89 GT and 89 LX hatch sports seats all had large, tilting headrests. 1990 and later had small headrests. 84-89 sport seats had a 26" tall seat back, while all 90-93 and 79-89 non-sport seat backs were 24". The 87-89 seats with the taller back and big headrests tended to block out the rear seat passengers, so Ford ditched the higher seat models

Ignore the headrests in this pic. left is a 24" tall 90-91 sport seat (which should have small headrest), right is an 26" tall 87-89 sport seat (which should have the large tilting headrest)


Here's an 87-89 GT convertible seat


And here's the 90-91 style seat
