taking seats out, how?

[Laura]

i need to take my drivers seat out to try and find out how all thies stupid fecking water is getting in my car!!

from what i can see there are 4 bolts under the car, covered by rubber bungs, is it as simple as undoing these and out it comes?

 

[Christopher]

yep

2 bolts by the sill, under the rubber bungs. 2 bolts next to the exhaust, helps if you have a long reach wrench, those 2 can be a ball ache. Have some wd40 ready just in case.

Don't forget to unplug your airbag wire too.

If the seats have to come completely out, you'll need to disconnect the airbag cable, the red bit on the connector comes out first, then squeeze the connector to pull it apart. Don't forget to disconnect the battery -ve terminal first, for at least 15mins.

Have you checked the air con system?

Yup as warren says disconnect battery and unclip the plug connectors under the seat before trying to unbolt and yank them out.

oh,. you wont be able to undo the clip.
its simply impossible, i evantually did it, the drivers is harder than the passangers though.

I did one yesterday. The red part may snap, but it'll still go back together after.

it only happens when it rains, there is also far too much water for it to be the AC... it would have run out of rwater a long time ago lol

dont need to disconnect battery. Its a myth. Just dont turn on ignition while its unplugged or the light will come on

Tell that to the bloke who I used to work with who got his head put through a windscreen by the passenger airbag while working on a dash with the battery still connected...

They can (rarely) go off after the batteries been disconnected, don't take the risk for the sake of undoing one bolt!
