what kind of problem are you having? there are 5 bolts holding them in; 2 in the front, three on the back (inside has two, outside has one).
you will need to move the seat back and forward to access all five.
if yours is like my passenger side, and wouldn't go back and forward correctly, I had to remove the trim pieces, and do a bit of fenangling to access the back bolts... wasn't fun, but I managed to get them, and fix my seat.

After all the screws are taken off, there's the harness that's underneath the seats, you need to unplug that.

There is no way you can miss the bolts...

well, you will need to remove the covers. they are inerior colored, on each corner of the seat.
like I said, you will need to move the seat back and forth to access all five.

Exactly my thoughts lol.


On a side note, since the OP's question is answered. How do you get the sunroof "visor" back on track the part that blocks the sunlight when the sunroof is closed? I bought the car with it off and yes I have tried but I dont want to force it.

Sounds like you might have to take the headliner off and inspect it closely. You cant do it with the headliner on.

To take the headliner off you need to take the trims off, which includes back seat, a-pillar, rear window trim and such.

FYI - the bolt covers can be a real pain to remove, which is why he may have been struggling. Just went through this myself. You have to be careful not to break them. I found the easiest way is to use a 90 degree pick or something else small and curved, and pull outward on one of the tabbed areas (you can tell where they are), and then SLIDE it back off. It will not pull up, but slide it back.
