Removing drivers seat

Post by Negativegravity »

Just wondering, is there any way to slide the drivers seat off the runners without having to remove all the furniture in the back? The forwards movement is blocked before the end, and there ain't enough room to slide back due to fridge, sink, hob etc, which are all connected. Just thought I'd check in case I've missed something! Will be a big undertaking just to put a swivel base in otherwise!!

Seats come of forward. Push all the way forward and then behind the seat release lever just before the hinge cover is a little metal tag on a spring. Push this up and seat will slide all the way off.

Looks like this.

Hope that helps :ok

If you learn the knack, you'll be able to take the passenger seat off, spin it around and slide it back on the runners facing the rear seat in a few seconds. Almost as easy as having a proper swivel seat and also handy for long, silent drives home after a domestic. (although probably not legal :wink: )

Only if one of the passengers enjoys "open air" motoring!
