• Modification so seat comes out easily
  Note: the seats come with a label that warns not to modify the seat in any way. This is not a recommendation to do so.
  • There are two ways to remove the seat, consider making one of the two mods (they save time, nothing more):
    • Easier removal of the T-handle (4 AN3 bolts)
      The mod is to replace the nuts with nutplates, so you don't have to fumble with washers and nuts in a tight space.
    • Easier removal of the rear stopper (2 AN4 bolts - factory installed within the rail)
      The mod is to replace the nuts that are part of the seat rail with nutplates below the seat (needs match drilling and longer bolts).
  • The space behind the seat is tight. You are likely to bump into the flap cover. If you have carpet on the flap cover, it might not come out without removing the flap cover. An additional mod is to chamfer the front end of the nylon track sleeves so you can angle the seat up before it hits the flap cover.
