                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator of 
  the Lear Plastics Corporation
  401(k) Plan for Hourly Employees:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
LEAR PLASTICS CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES as of December 31,
1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993 and the four months ended
December 31, 1992. These financial statements and the schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in assets available for benefits
for year ended December 31, 1993 and the four months ended December 31, 1992 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

As explained in the notes thereto, information presented in the schedule of
assets held for investment purposes and the schedule of reportable transactions 
that accompany the Plan's financial statements do not disclose the historical
cost of certain investments. Disclosure of this information is required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  PLAN DESCRIPTION

      General

       Effective September 1, 1992, Lear Plastics Corporation (the Company), a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of Lear Seating Corporation,
         established the Lear Plastics Corporation 401(k) Plan for Hourly
         Employees (the Plan). The following description of the Plan provides
         only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
         agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

      Eligibility

       All full-time hourly employees of Lear Plastics Corporation, who have
         completed one year of service and who have attained age 21, are
         eligible to participate in the Plan effective the first day of the
         quarter following completion of the Plan's eligibility requirements.

      Employee Contributions

       Participants may elect to defer from 1% to 16% of their compensation 
         each Plan year, subject to Plan limitations. The amount of compensation
         participants elect to defer through payroll deductions is contributed
         to the Plan by the Company on their behalf.

      Administration

       The Plan administrator is responsible for general administration of the
         Plan for the exclusive benefit of Plan participants and their
         beneficiaries, subject to the specific terms of the Plan agreement.
         Assets of the Plan and related investments are administered by the
         Plan's trustee, Delaware Charter Guarantee and Trust Company. It is
         the trustee's responsibility to invest Plan assets and to distribute
         benefits to participants.

    basis to the elective accounts of the individual participants.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Continued)


Distribution of Benefits

 Distribution of benefits is made upon the occurrence of any one of the
  following:

        Normal retirement of the participant at age 65;

        Deferred retirement of the participant beyond age 65;

        Early retirement of the participant at age 55 or the 
          seventh anniversary of participation commencement, 
          whichever is later;

        Total and permanent disability of the participant;

        Death of the participant; and

        Termination of employment.

 Benefits payable upon normal, deferred or early retirement, total and 
  permanent disability or death are made through installment payments or in a 
  lump sum. Benefits due upon termination of employment are based on vested 
  amounts in the participants' accounts and made by installment payments or in 
  a lump sum.  In any event, the Company will make a lump sum payment to any 
  participant if the amount owed is less than $3,500.

 As of December 31, 1993 and 1992 there were no amounts allocated to accounts of
  persons who have withdrawn from participation in the earnings and operations 
  of the Plan.

Loans to Participants

 Loans to participants are not permitted under the Plan.

Hardship Withdrawals

 No amounts may be withdrawn from a salary deferral account before a participant
  terminates employment with the Company or attains the age of fifty-nine and
  one-half, except by reason of financial hardship.  All requests for hardship
  withdrawals require the consent of the Plan administrator.

(2)     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Basis of Accounting

          Accounting records are maintained by the Trustee on the accrual basis
            of accounting.

        Investments

          Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis.   
            Investments owned are reflected in the Statements of Assets
            Available for Benefits at current value. Current value, which is
            equivalent to market value, is the unit valuation of the security
            at yearend. Realized gains on sales of investments and unrealized
            appreciation and depreciation in the value of investments are
            computed based on the difference between the market value of Plan
            Assets at the beginning of the Plan year, or at time of purchase if
            acquired during the year, and the market value of investments when
            sold or at Plan yearend. The historical cost of certain investments
            and the net gain or loss on the sale of certain investments is not
            readily determinable from the Trustee's statements.

        Expenses

          All direct costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
            Plan are paid by the Company.

(3)     TAX STATUS

          The Company has not yet requested a determination letter from
            the Internal Revenue Service to indicate that the Plan is in
            compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
            Code (the Code). However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax
            counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being
            operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
            Code. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the
            related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
            Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the
            accompanying financial statements.
