Default Removing seats

How hard is it to remove the seats from a C6? I need to install my Blip Module and it’s hard for me to get up under the dash since I’m in my late 50s. This stuff used to be easier in my 20s! Anyway, I’m thinking that if I remove the seats, it will be easier to get under the dash to run the wires and connect everything.

It is an easy job. Five nuts and a couple of electrical connectors.

I used several short pieces of 2x4 to lift the seat in order to disconnect the electrical connectors.

It is easy to scratch the paint while removing the seat. Use some padding to protect the paint.

Disconnect the battery because one of those connectors is the seat air bag.

Also it is heavy, a second person should help to guide it out.
