Lear Corporation Announces Resignation of Board Member

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Nov. 11 -- Lear Corporation
today announced that Gian Andrea Botta has resigned as a member of the Lear
Board of Directors.
    Mr. Botta has served on Lear's Board since 1993.  Mr. Botta's guidance has
been instrumental in the company's rapid growth and global expansion, helping
to position Lear as one of the world's largest independent automotive
suppliers.
    Mr. Botta's resignation follows his recent appointment as a Managing
Director for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
    In announcing Mr. Botta's resignation, Lear Chairman and CEO Kenneth L.
Way said:  "Andrea's significant contributions pre-date Lear's initial public
offering in 1994.  He has been a major supporter of our corporate strategy
designed to grow our current business and transform Lear from a seating
manufacturer to a supplier of complete interior systems with the added
capability to integrate and link those systems together with a sophisticated
electronic and electrical 'neural network.'  His input and vision have been
valuable and will be missed."
