Seat Removal

Hello all,

Has anyone removed a drivers seat from a 1999 Cadillac Seville? Just wondering how difficult a procedure this is? Thanks.

1. Disable the SIR System. Refer to Disabling the SIR System in SIR.

2. Move the seat to the full forward position.

3. Remove the seat track retainer bolt adjuster covers.

4. Remove the seat track retainer bolts.

5. Move the seat to the full rearward position.

6. Remove the front seat track cover.

7. Recline the seat back fully rearward.

8. Tilt the seat forward and disengage the front mounting points from the floor.

9. Disconnect the electrical connectors.

10. Remove the seat from the vehicle, with the aid from an assistant.

Installation Procedure

1. Install the seat into the vehicle, with the aid from an assistant.

2. Engage the front seat tracks into the slots in the floor pan.

Notice

Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

4. Lower the rear of the seat and tighten the outer anchor bolt first, then the inner anchor bolt last.

Tighten

5. Install the inner seat track adjuster trim covers.

6. Move the seat to the full rearward and upward position.

7. Align the front seat adjuster cover tabs with the slots in the seat tracks. Install the front seat track cover, slide cover rearward in order to secure.

8. Reposition the seat.

9. Enable the SIR System. Refer to Enabling the SIR System in SIR.

Thanks Bruce for all your help!

I removed mine from my 95" Eldorado: Piece of cake (instructions were almost identical). The biggest PITA is disconnecting/reconnecting the wires from the bottom of the seat. Other then that it was cake.
