Good News:
Well, today I tackled the pool noodle broken seat spring fix. I did not redo the entire seat, just took it out, shoved the pool noodles in from underneath, put it back, and the results were BETTER than I imagined. Very happy. Got the carpet clearned with the seats out and made $4.88 with all the change I found! I took pictures of the entire process and will compose into a DIY (i know there is one already, but it shows a manual seat, and mine are power, so it might be useful for others). Also found some ideas for others on the seat belt guide rail and attachment clips.

Bad News:
Prior to today, my keyless remote worked great (factory original). I dropped my keys, and ever since then (or coincidence with the seat going in and out), the remote no longer locks or unlocks the car. All the actuators still work if I use the key or manually push down or pull up on the lock. My second remote never worked. But, now both don't. The interesting thing is that both remotes flash a bright red light when any key is pressed, indicating that the battery in the remote is fine. Do you all think it is the remotes? Do I need to somehow reprogram them - if so how? Do I need new ones - if so, where do I get them and how to code to my car? Or, some other idea?

Other question:
I am trying to get my H power antenna to work. I wanted to test the wiring, but I can not figure out how to unplug the wiring harness plug without fearing that I will brake it. Does it slide off, pull off, or what. What do I squeeze, lift, or whatever to get this off and expose the pins? It was working great, then last week would intermittently go up / down, now nothing. Suggestions? If I have to replace, I want to replace with something that will still utilize the off/mid/full antenna button as I am stickler for keeping this thing working as stock.

Thank you!
