Posted by: 914 freak Jan 29 2003, 09:50 AM

I got water under my drivers seat,i broke the ajusting arm and got rusty rails.How can i remove the seat?

WD40 and two large screw drivers slid between the rails and the seat track! Push hard!

You could move the seat forward and remove the hinge pins and the four bolts holding the rails, then try to take the two bolts that hold the pivot latch in the front. This would require the seat to move forward and back. If your rusted it may not work.

Jeff nailed it.

Slide it forward and remove the 4 bolts. I'm betting your going to end up replacing the seat rail pivot points.

Good luck and let us know how it turned out.

Let me know I have brand new pivots, $25.00. And any other related parts.
Good Luck

Heck, you can slide it forward and then slide it forward and off...

Easier to get at the bolts that hold the brackets onto the floor pan if you get the seat out of the way entirely.

Push up on the bit that used to be a part of the slider handle. That should let you slide the seat forward until the stop. Then feel under the other seat rail for a tab that is sticking down into the rail. Push up on that, slide the seat forward. It should slide until it falls off.
