Rear seat base in a D9 saloon

Post by DurhamRed »

I need to remove the rear seat base (i.e the bit you sit on) from my Sri saloon, the reason being is the seat belt stalks are not in their right position, they are protuding from the seat uprights and not in the slots in the seat base. No amount of tugging seems to be moving them, I need to lift the seat base so that I can free the slack up to enable me to position the stalks properly (I hope you can understand this!!!).
Do I have to unbolt the seat base? If so I presume I need to slacken the nuts off at the front section of the lower part of the seat base?
Is this correct?
Thanks for any responses.

if its a D9 then you need to remove the outer seat bolsters (the side bits) and this reveals more bolts holiding the base in place, also undo the 2 front bolts, if its a D8 then its just the front ones

Thanks James, how do I remove the side bolsters? If i drop the rear seat backs does it reveal some nuts/bolts that need to be removed etc?
