I love that racing bucket seat you have...lol

[ManktheTank19]

Wow, your going all out - very nice and good luck

[g4mbl3]

wow, looks so crazy with the seats removed. wish i had the time and / or patience to do something like that. haha oh well, have fun, and looks good

[cranch]

i enjoy deatailing. i dunno why.. its alot of work but so worth it. every year i remove the seats and giver. thanks for the co0mpliments

[Nighthawk243]

Yep. Removed my seats last week.

Unfortunately I also broke the wire to the seat belt indicator putting it back in... :doh:

Gave me an excuse to rig up a bypass switch though to turn off the nag light. :D

[cranch]

the only thing i did was i forgot about the plastic covers on the drivers seat and i was kneeling down and cracked on. very small.. not noticable so its all good

yeah it takes like 5 minutes to take out the seats, two bolts then lift out.... and its soooo worth it to clean it without seats. thats what my new car needs, but i have to get the star key for the bolts still, cause the socket part is kinda worn

[cranch]

yea its definatly easy to take them out and put the in. very worth it. still not compeltely satisfied with the outcome so we will see.

Easy as long as you don't bump the seat adjuster and get the rails misaligned. :lol:

[cranch]

mine were misaligned on the passenger side. didnt take to much to get them back.

[Riley1123d]

Holy :shit: Mike! You weren't kidding when you said Spring Cleaning!!

New meaning to the term "bucket seats".

:lol: A perfect caption!

[cranch]

yea every year i take everything out and scrub. when it gets back from the body shop today im gonna scrub some more. still has dirt and mud stains in places. i like detailing.. i dunno.. its alot of work but i enjoy the results

[Gagt518]

Very nice, I do the same thing aswell a few times a year

[IanMykelB]

Yea that looks like a great idea!

Do you just use like regular carpet cleaner, or is there something special that I should get to do that?

Also, what is the degree of dificulty to remove, and reinstall the seats?

[Gagt518]

Its very easy to take the seats out. Theres only 2 bolts holding them in. The hard thing is putting them back in the car with by yourself

[cranch]

agreed i put the drivers one back in and its quite a bit heavier then the passengers cause of the motor underneither... i used meguires carpet cleaner and some other crap u by in a can with a scrubber on top... sprayed the stains and foamed the floor. let sit for 5 minutes and then i used a brush and warm water to scrub... work it all in and then vaccumm out a few times with a shop vac and let it sit for awhile. then vac it again to remove left over dirt. gonna do it again this weekend to get the floor completely clean.

[Elderas]

Brilliant

Im gonna do that this weekend. I have the equivilent of 2 cups of coffee on my carpet

[cranch]

hahaha yea man works great. been using that technique for 4 years now

[Shadow-D]

Damn I guess I should get off my but and get to mine :lol:
Looks good :)

[ramairgrandamgt]

[cranch]
