[AlexG]

need to remove my front seats on my mk2 ph1. i can see the two grommits under the car just behind the sills. im assuming there is another two further under the car but i cant see them? how many in total?

is this the same for the RS interior, need to remove my passnger seat?

 

[paul]

yep yep! i struggled under the car! but luckly have a ramp that goes in to my garage so drove it up that a little to give a bit more clearence! which helped! i struggled on my own but wasnt an easy job changing seats you really need some help! My arms werent long enough

so under the car there are 4 bungs that need to be removed, then that gives you access to the bolts, which you undo to remove the seat, what kind of electrical issues would this throw up?

what about any heats sheilds, are there some that need removing?

thats a nice little guide, i only need to remove the seat to run some decent amount of wiring properly, so for me id only need to unclip the wiring and remove seat and then refit in reverse

cheers

 

[paul]

no worries mate! its not that hard i managed it!

 

[AlexG]

i could feel the heatshield for the exhaust but that was it. ill jack it up and get under thier. cheers paul. im running wiring too sean its a b*****d isnt it

 

[paul]

be careful jacking the car up and getting underneath - as i said i found a slope and got under that way! made life a bit easier! im a thin chap and it was a tight fit LOL!

 

[AlexG]

my cars lowered 60mm too tight squeeze

 

[paul]

LOL! ^ that wont make life any eaiser!

 

[Sean.]

lol, i can do it on axle stands no problem gettin under there for me

i have already ran the power earth and RCA's down that side but its difficult to get the trim back on and i have 4 speaker cables to run also so though it would be easier if i took out the seat i can get them under the carpet perhaps

 

[AlexG]

are you running the speaker cables for the front doors? how are you getting the wires through the grommit into the door are you drilling the plastic part of using the screw holes to get the wire through? still unsure on how im going to get mine through as the cables are quite chunky
