Quick Question about Driver's Seat

[myfirstlincoln]

I have a 2003 LS with the 8 way power seat and perforated leather. The leather is ripped pretty badly in a couple locations and the plastic around the seat "adjusters" is broken so I figured I would get a new seat. While looking, I noticed there could be two seats that are possible and was wondering how to tell exactly which seat I have/should buy. I was able to find a couple used seats but am not sure which will work:

8 way power, with memory, with seat air bag, and with roof airbag.
OR
8 way power, with memory, with seat air bag, and NO roof airbag.

I know I have 8 way, with memory and with the seat air bag, but how do I know if I have a "roof airbag" and what does it have to do with the seat?

Thanks!

Maybe its the side curtain airbags. There is a badge on the roof if you have them.

Like he said, you'll have an SRS badge on the headliner if you have side curtain airbags.
The difference is that you have a different kind of airbag in the seat depending on if you have the side curtains or not. It's important to get the right kind. Otherwise, you'll have too much airbag or too little.

Thank you for the response! I do not have that badge and wasn't even aware that was an option. I'll look for a seat without the roof airbag.

Thanks again guys!
