    Default vs seat removal problem

    Hey all, ive got a small problem, which i find pretty unusual to all the other cars. Heres my prob, i went to remove my front seats, and removed 2 rear allen key bolts then went to slide the seat back to undo the 2 front bolts and there wasnt any allen key bolts, but what looks like whats holding it in is pop rivets,

    So my question is how do i undo pop rivots and has anyone ever seen this in there seats?

    Not to sure to be honest but I think as a last resort drilling out the pop rivets might be the only way?

    If its in with rivets its certainly not original. All 4 fixing points on a vs seat is done so with allen key bolts. They must be some pretty sizable rivets! Only option is to drill them out. When reinstalling I'd be going back with bolts as original (assuming the previous owner hasn't butchered it too much to allow this).

    As delco said above.Theres a small bracket riveted to the seat for the front mounts,if you look at the other end of this bracket,you will see the allen bolt.I found them hidden down in the carpet sort of.

    Also, I had dramas getting the rear inside hex bolt back in. I'd suggest getting the two rear bolts back in first before the fronts.
