removing front driver seat

dpilat8588 · 07-03-2015, 04:02 PM

Anyone know what size torx bolts hold the front seat down? Also, when removing the front seat, will I avoid dash alarms as long as I do not disconnect the main harness from the seat?

T 50 for mine. I had to lift my seat and didn't remove the wiring and had no lights or alarms. Hope that helps.

just to confirm, those 4 torx head bolts are the only bolts I need to remove to take the seat out, correct?

Yep just 4x t50 bolts. If you don't remove any wiring, no lights will come on. If you must remove the wiring, remove the bolt first, disconnect the battery then the wiring. Only when you disconnect the wiring will the seat come out.

I remove my seat like 3-5 times a year to clean underneath lol. the proper torque to reinstall is 35nM

I just tipped the seat back to get a fire extinguisher mounted to the seat. Johndong's information seems like a good idea if the seat needs to come out. I had not thought of that.

i just tipped the seat back (without removing the connector) and everything went smooth...thanks for the replies
