Mine actually did the same thing...one of the back legs broke off my driver's seat and it caused the front hole diagonal of it to rip through the floor.

I've never owned a fox that I didn't have to fix that mounting location. It's like a very common thing (along with a heater core, door lock actuators, door handle bezels, side mirror bezel).

The front bracket snapped off my drivers seat so now I basically have a recliner with my GT leg rests haha but when you launch it just about dumps you into the back seat. Probably should get it fixed

Mine did that, and the back bracket broke as well...

My sisters 89 GT has a working ash tray door, map light, center console latch and nearly every other option. Scares me, that with the high mileage it has, the stuff isn't broken.

My 92 has an original working ashtray door, and center console is in tacked too. I was amazed when I looked at it. It even has the cargo net, and hatch cover, along with a working hatch button in the glove box. I've never seen one of those that worked.

The hatch button is a problem in these cars? Mine always worked, I even rewired so I dont need the key in the ignition for it to work.

I broke down and bought the ashtray door repair kit, works like a charm.

Should i just weld around the break or does it need support? I'm new at welding, but I'm going to give it a try.
