Title: Front Seat removal Guide...?
Post by: dub singh on December 08, 2011, 08:12:15 pm

Looking to remove the standard interior out of my car for heated GTI seats this weekend.. Its a 5door car..has anyone does this?

Anyone know what tools i will potentially need?

Had a search on here but only found a guide for the rear seats, nothing for the fronts

Cheers in advance..

Done it this week for heated leathers.  There are four M10 spline bolts, then it's a case of undoing the wires and lifting out the seats.

also a good idea to disconnect the battery as the airbag wiring will be disconnected

Cheers Skard  :happy2:

Is that the same spline socket required to remove the rear seats - The seat belt bolt?

Will disconnecting the battery beforehand prevent the airbag light coming on the dash?
