Default How do I remove seats?

OK, here is an easy question. Please help out a new C3 owner.

I can see the front seat bolts, but what else do I loosen to remove the seats? How do I take them out?

Thanks for the help!

I can actually answer this question!!!!!!! :D

There are four bolts. 2 up front and 2 more in back. To get to the back 2, slide the seat forwarde on its track.

9/16" socket, if I recall correctly. Slide the seat back remove the two bolts hiding under the carpet flap. Move the seat forward and remove the two rear bolts.

With the seat all the way back remove the two fromt bolts. Then move the seat forward to remove the rear bolts. A word of caution; the nuts are welded to the floor pan, it they beark loose you will have to reach under the car to hold them while removing the bolts (long arms or a second pair of hands come in handy for this.)
Once the bolts are romoved the seat lifts right out, just be careful because the ends of the tracks are sharp and can easily tear the door panels or scratch the paint.
