Seat removal, How to Options

[74ravenna]

I hate to ask because it should be pretty straight forward and I've searched the site for an explanation but couldn't find one.

So, what is the process for seat removal? The bolts at the rear of the track are easy enough to access but what about the forward bolts?
Or does the seat slide out of the tracks somehow?
I just need to access the wiring and do a little cleaning (surface rust removal) of the floor.

Thanks in advance.

Two ways:

What you described; 2 screws on each side in the back. The front is simply engaged in the tilt mechanism. Once you remove the 4 rear screws, the seat is pretty much free (you will see).

Or, slide the seat all the way forward until it its the stop, then back it off by 1/4-1/2". You then need to slide your finger in one of the two rails (I forget which one) from the front side and lift the metal tongue (stopping device) which will allow you to pull the seat forward, completely out of the rail.

Worth removing with the screws the first time which will allow you to see the stopping mechanism with the seat out of the car. You can then slide out the rails, do even more cleaning.

Next time you will be able to do just the slide out.

Good luck.
