I am going to remove my seats pretty soon..just want to kno what am i gettin into..Is it only 4 bolts??? any pictures will be perfect..step by step instructions will be even better..

THANKS!

 

On the G....

4 bolts, and the power seat/heat must be disconected via a little plastic clip.... (If I remember correctly)
I take mine out twice a year to detail her completly.

 

4 bolts and maybe an airbag harness if you have it. I swap seats on the passenger side atleast once a month

 

rick-you diconnect the battery prior to unplugging the airbag harness right?

 

thanks...yeah i have AIrbag/heated and PWR...im sure its just a lil clip that connects it..good question do we need to take out the battery? i dont want the air bag to pop and knock me out..hahah

 

Why would you need to disconnect the battery before the airbag harness? If the car is OFF, there's no power going to the airbag, right???

 

because if u turned off the car and the computer senese there is a passenger inside then u get nailed... the air bag still deployes to save u...?
maybe thats why...
because u have to disc the battery terminal for steering wheel removal to prevent airbag deployment...

 

^ thats true...so on the safe side i should disconnect it anyways..so i wont get knocked out by XXXX amount of PSI and i kno its A LOT~! I MEAN A LOT! it will knock u out silly...

 

i watched the show on car safety on the national geographics channel...
it shoots out at over 200mph and deployes in just a couple milliseconds!
an airbag is nothing to messs with...
getting shot by an airbag point blank might kill u

 

very, very true. although I think I'd laugh if I someone get hit with one.

now I know this is true on some cars but isn't there a back up, such as a capacitor to provide power for the airbags in case power is lost before deploying...?

 

get ahold of the service manual or have someone look it up for you to double check - but YES at the very least disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes before touching anything to do with an airbag connector. Also make sure you have no static electricity buildup on you. In case of an accident involving battery cables getting smashed all airbags must have a backup charge of electricity to deploy them as a backup. Usually capacitors in the airbag computer or something like that. And the bags are serious business. I've seen propulsion canisters being made and its about a 3/4" to 1" diameter shell full of blue powder very much like gunpowder. It has to be compressed in a canister to explode with the charge. There still can be flash fires in the plant though from being careless Not the safest factory to be in! It's like having a loaded weapon pointed at your head if you are grasping the seat and pulling it out when it goes off.
Be careful, this is exactly why I did not take my seats out just to put my amplifiers in, but may consider taking out the carpet this spring to add some sound deadening. Make sure you do it right.

 

Never did and the bags never deployed

 

just make sure not to turn the car on while the seat is out, or the airbag light will go on and will have to be reset by the dealer (or maybe there is a way to reset it yourself i dont know).

 

Very true! Once the sensor is tripped, you have to go to the dealer to have it reset. Mine I don't care about since I don't have any airbags in place

 

THANKS you guys for all the tips..i'll make sure everything is properly done! when i swap my seats out...
