I tried to have a crack at removing my old seats to put in some Supra ones, but I only found two bolts to take off which is right next to the centre consol.

Can someone tell me what bolts I need to remove and what tools do I need? I was lost as and I didnt want to snap the plastic off the rails.

May be easier if you remove the entire seat with rails attached to see everything underneath.

NOTE there are cables that may be connected to your seat from underneath, ensure you disconnect these before you pull the seat out.

I'm certain that there's four bolts (two on each rail). Those plastic bits come off with a bit of prying, just be careful and you won't snap them.

Remove those and the seat should come off freely.

If i can recall correctly, the seats are attached to the rail by hex keys or whatever they're called (Star shape things).

These were coming loose and my seat was coming off the rail every time i took a hard corner, i did this around a month or two ago.

Hey Thanks Matchy after I posted this I found the topic on how to do it lol.

I just changed them only took baout half an hour but I can not connect the electrics on the driver seat because the plugs are totally different.

Here are some pictures:

This is the plug from the car:

Any help would be great as the seat is so far forward I can barley drive it lol.

Anyway this is how the seats look, and they are way lighter then the stock soarer ones.

You have to cut the wires sadly, and use an electrical connector block to join them again. Or get a matching connector from the old seats, splice it onto the Supra cable and then the plugs will mate correctly.
