Taking Seats out?

[*^Nicola^*]

Hiya,

I have a 3 door Nova which has been parked on my drive since November :oops: due to changing the front end to MkII - anyhow, the passenger seat has gone mouldy!!!! :cry: :cry:
So, is it an easy job to get the seats out to clean them in the house rather than struggle with them in the car? Or shall I just leave them where they are? Another reason I want to take them out - the drivers seat doesn't seem to 'slide' backwards and forwards properly :x so I thought I could fix that too.

Thanking you all :D

you have 2 or maybe 4 13mm bolts depending which model it is at the front on the floor hold the seat in. Take them out it just slides out.

Thanks Phil,
So I need a smallish spanner?

[Philsutton]

yep a 13mm spanner, 13mm socket or moles either will get them out

[*^Nicola^*]

Ok Thanks Phil :) Will see if I can find a spanner of that size. Moles are harder to come by where I live :P

Well I've just been out with the spanners and I can't find where the hell the nuts are :o :? I can see the runner things and a nut where the seatbelt thing goes in - but I don't think thats it. Where abouts is it? Should I have the seats tilted forward, is it at the front of the runner or the back?

Sorry :oops:

The bolts should be located under the carpet at the front of the seat.

There should be a loose flap of carpet under the seat. If you carefully fold it forward you should be able to see the bolts.

Then once the bolts are out its just a case of sliding the seats backwards off the runners. Sometimes they can be a little hard to get out the runners. Also they're quite heavy so be prepared.

Aarrgghhhh, I found the four bolts but I can't undo them! :oops:
