EXHIBIT 99.1

I, Robert E. Rossiter, state and attest that:

(1)      To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
         of Lear Corporation, and except as corrected or supplemented in a
         subsequent covered report:

         -  no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact
            as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
            of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the
            date on which it was filed); and

         -  no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
            make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
            circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the
            end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
            report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
            on which it was filed).

(2)      I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
         committee.

(3)      In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
         before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

         -  the 2001 Lear Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
            Commission.

         -  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
            proxy materials of Lear Corporation filed with the Commission
            subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

         -  any amendments to any of the foregoing.

/s/ Robert E. Rossiter                          Subscribed and sworn to
Robert E. Rossiter                              before me this 9th day of
August 9, 2002                                  August, 2002.
