I did not hook up any of the electronics or weight sensor and do not have an airbag light illuminated.

For a C6 this what you will need to do to NOT have air bag lights...

Thanks alot, this forum is great!

Ok, now Im a little confused, after re-reading the installation, looks like you drilled holes and moved the seats 1 1/2" ? I bought the seats with a lumbar support on the passenger side on purpose, because I thought I had to switch them? Can I still switch them? Will it be off Center? I can drill some holes...Kerry

I switched them. Passenger for driver and driver for passenger and did not drill any additional holes that I remember. They work perfectly fine. Just try before you drill. It is super easy to install and remove once attached to the base.

aaronc7

It looks like he attempted to make the driver seat work on the driver side by drilling new holes etc....but ended up settling on installing them backwards like most do now.

I installed mine backwards like that and it works fine, just a little annoying to reach the recline lever, but I virtually never use that, so not a big deal at all.

The front of the seat is very low though, I've been meaning to go back and add some washers to the front side like talked about in the guide.

Thanks for clearing that up, I bought the seats 2 months ago, and just now getting ready to install...I was worried about the lumbar, because I ordered it only for the passenger side planning on using passenger on drivers side etc...I have to replace my blend doors (again) so Im doing it all at the same time, it should be easier to get to the the blend doors with the seats out....Kerry

aaronc7

Yeah absolutely. I recommend buying the washers and having them on hand during the install so you can set that up to your liking as well. When I did my install about 4 years ago I told myself that I would add them later......but I have been too lazy to since, ha.

harrykerry

Thanks, yep washers for sure, wonder if I should do both sides? Boy Florida sounds great right now, Ive been sitting in rain and snow for a long time, thank god I got my shop almost done and the cars nice and dry!

Jcbarr25

Yeah I would do both sides while they are out. Otherwise it would be too low as mentioned. I can't remember how much. You can test that outside the car as well until you find the perfect amount.

Don't forget to move the passenger weight sensor for the airbag. It is a bladder thingy so the airbag keeps getting activated when people sit on the passenger side.

harrykerry

Hi, thanks for all your help..Bladder thingy? Move it where? I dont want the airbag to go off on my passenger...ha, no really, you lost me there, where do I move it to? Thanks

Jcbarr25

At least for the C6, the passenger side airbag is not on unless there is enough weight on the seat. I would think the C5 is the same. Once you remove the passenger seat, flip it up and you will sit it. It is at the seat bottom. It is like a plastic bag with liquid that sense the weight on the seat. I moved that to the new Corbeau seats so the car would still know when someone was sitting on the passenger side.

i don't remember seeing a weight sensor in the C5

C5 has no passenger side air bag sensor in the passenger seat. The only thing they have is the shut off in the glove box.

harrykerry

thanks!

Jcbarr25

There you go. Sorry for the confusion. Should be a straight swap then. Good luck. Let us know if you need more help. You are gonna love the seats.

harrykerry

thanks again, Ill let you know, Im working on my shop and need to get the outside finished and painted before I get to play with it, but the suns out today, so its on!

harrykerry

Need more help......So, Im getting ready to put the seats in, did the washers, everything looks good. I want to sell the stock seats, drivers a little worn, but the passenger is like new, but I read to leave the electronics for the electric seat under the carpet, dont I want to give that to the person that may want my seats? can I pull the electronics out?
