Yes, I had the seat all the way down - bad thing

I was able to finally disconnect the wires by pushing them up.

Disconnecting the battery is a good idea, I failed to consider.

Thanks so much for the suggestion.

I did not try to remove the bottom plastic cover - so I succeeded in NOT BREAKing it.

The seat came out of the car with no damage. Thanks

Now to get the sandpaper on the leather - oh, that's going to hurt. (Needed to rough up the leather for dying and filling the cracks)

Thanks again

If any one else is reading this and considering removing the seat - it was actually easy, and as I said, it was removed with no damage.

But boy was it dirty under the seat. Carpet shampoo, here I come.
