And good god what a PITA!!

For some reason, I though I'd be able to pull the backs off and swap left to right without having to take them off the rails. WRONG.

As those of you know who've taken out seats know, the seatbelt slider track is welded to the bottom rail.

Oh well. Four hours and some change later, I have a great seat. 'Course now my passengers will be leaning toward the center of the car!

I'll fix that side soon, but my Sciatica has been killing me and I reckon that ridiculous seating position has a lot to do with it.

Good day, ladies and gents.

If anybody needs hints, just post up here.

Yup. Anytime I need a new seat bottom, i always pull the bottom from the passenger side of a junker.

I did that job yesterday. It does go faster and easier after you do it a few times.
