#1: Bit of a tricky one.. Seat removal Author: welsh.Z.S., Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 3:52 pm ---- Right guys as mentioned in my other thread, my passenger front won't slide backwards sometimes, now I'm wanting to take the seat out to have a good look etc, I can get to the rear 2 torx bolts, but the front ones are under the where the seat is and the seat wont move, anyone got any ideas?

#3: Re: Bit of a tricky one.. Seat removal Author: welsh.Z.S., Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 4:37 pm ---- I cant get to the bolts as the seat wont move lol

#5: Re: Bit of a tricky one.. Seat removal Author: welsh.Z.S., Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 4:48 pm ---- I cant bud, the seat is stuck all the way forward so is literally sitting on top of the bolt
