My seat is stuck all the way back making me the primary driver cause noone can reach the pedals. It still goes up and down but doesn't go back and forth. But I can't get to the seat motor without unbolting the seat. The 2 rear seat bolts have plastic covers on them and the seat rails are on top of the covers so I can't get at them. The problem is even after I get the cover off, I don't think Ill be able to remove the bolts because of the rails. Any ideas?

I was wondering if any1 had a manual driver seat for sale. I can get one at a junk yard but Im gonna have to reapulster it you know rats and stuff living it

. I just wanted to unbolt the old and rebolt the new and call it a day

Be careful that the seats you are getting are something of a brand name like Sparco, MoMo, Corbeau, etc. not anything from E-Bay otherwise they may not fit properly and bang your door panel every time you shut it. Been there done that one dude. It sucked.

This is just an update,
took me 2 hours to pull the driver seat had to unbolt the bottom cushion from the rails, and remover the center console. after I removed th bottom cushion found money and old number and sum glass. vacummed the glass and all around the rails went to clean out the rails so I could maunal slide the seat forward with a drill or rachet. And the seat ended up working all because of some dirt my driver side seat was stuck LMFAO!! Still pulled the seat I want manual anyways the electric seat bottom cusion doesn't fit I tried to cut the cushion my self and tried to rigged something up didn't work. had to take that to a shop and there resing it as we speak.
