seat hex nuts

[oldschool 2]

Just got new carpet and went to take the seats out and found out one of the hex nuts holding the front seats in is badly rounded should i just drill it out
or is there a better way?

I'd grind a slot in it with a dremel and take it out with a large philips head impact driver (chances are it's rounded for a reason), or get someone to weld a nut to the top of it.

I had one jam once ended up grabbing it with a pair of vice grips & also multi grips &very painstakenly undoing ittook ages.
Also you could weld a nut (middle of nut) to the top and remove it with a spanner/socket. Lay a fibreglass blankets inside the car to protect interior
