    Default replacing front seat

    i have managed to snap the weld that holds the seat to the runner, because of that i have to replace the front seat... being the indoor decorating type and knowing nothing about bolts could someone please tell me (in idiot terms) how to change the seats over??

    the rails should have four allen key screws/bolts, pretty sure its a case of undoing said four screws / bolts and then presto your seat is out.

    from there you can either get new rails [ wrecker ] or replace the seat entirely ( maybe go a VS S2 seat, its slightly more "buckety" ( better side leg support slightly deeper back )

    Default Easy as Campessi

    One of the easiest jobs.

    If you have a height adjuster jack it up, there are 4 allens bolts, one in each corner.
    Pull the seat out of the car and turn it upside down and take out the 4 allen bolts, again one in each corner.
    Go to the wreckers and get a replacement set of runners and fit in the reverse.

    A common problem with people who lean the seat back too far when driving.

    Please note that they cannot be repaired as the heat weakens the metal.
