Just got in my leather seat covers. Before i started to rip apart the car, was just wondering if someone who has previously removed the front seats had any tips for me.

I see the front two bolts that i need to remove, but are there any other hidden bolts that i should be looking for?

This is just for the front driver and passenger seats though.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Taking out the front seats is really easy... There are the two bolts in the front, and the two bolts in the back of each seat (covered by plastic cover thingies, which can be removed...)

Just unbolt 'em, and get your hands underneath the seats to unplug the power plugs (if you have powered seats). I only say that to make sure you don't yank on your seats trying to lift em out, only to pull the wires and break em...

So its fairly easy... Just remember the plugs under the seats...

Good luck...

It helps...

It helps to fold down the top half of the seat when you take it out. That way, the seat is more compressed and you can control it easier,...this helps in avoiding having the feet of the seat scratching up your car.

Good Luck

When re-installing ...

I'd suggest first threading the rear bolt closest to the center of the car (you'll have to lift the seat upwards to do so). That bolt seems to be the hardest to align properly. Of course, thread all 4 bolts 3/4 ths of the way first then tighten fully (just like wheel lug nuts).
