Recaro Seats (Trophy / Megane)

[MarcB]

Just seen the following post regarding taking recaro seats out.

Removed the drivers seat to remove them rattling coins!

Nice easy job really. 4 Torx bolts and an electrical connector and the jobs done. Was surprised at the weight of the seat though.

Now i would love to take mine out my Trophy but I'm unsure of how to do this?
Do i need to get under the car and unbolt them or is it the 4 torx that are in the runners ?

Cant say for sure but I'd imagine they'd built to the runner

Under the car are four rubber grubs which cover the bolts. Remove rubber grubs and unbolt... That simple.

Yeah just come out like that in a Megane mate

 

[Wrighty.]

As above. You will need a 13mm deep socket iirc.

Ye the bolts are under the car
2 are within the exhaust heat shield too iirc.

I couldn't figure out how to undo funky electrical connection though on mine. So cut wires and spade connected back up
Might be different on yours though as yours came with recaros as standard

The grey and yellow connection block is simple to remove though

Need to jack car up to get to the bolts too.

Disconnect the battery first just to be safe.
