Best idea: get a Bentley manual

Or Short version.
--Remove 4 bolts on floor.. 1 at each end of each floor rail, holding rail to floor. Move seat forward and up for back 2 under lift-up rail covers. Front 2 accessed after moving seat all the way back and up. (if power off, seat has manual forward/backward slot on motor under seat, if needed...operate with screwdriver).
--Disconnect battery***
--Disconnect all elec plugs on seat.
--Remove bolt on end of seat belt and feed belt up through seat cover.
--Remove seat from car

***If you have air bags in seat, disconnect and cover ground strap for battery. Bag is also supposed to be shorted to ground with a special adapter. If you don't have this adapter or the knowledge and one spark of static happens, you'll blow your head off when bag deploys!!

Thanks very much for that. I'll have a go next weekend and just hope I don't blow the airbag. I've only got one head and I want hang on to it.

Cheers

Steve
