remove the plastic covers from the runners.

remove the end stops at the rear of the rails. held in by a screw

at the front of the seat, remove the bolt / nut (5mm allen and 10mm nut).

seat will slide all the way back. Sometimes it's easier to lift the seat up at the front.

If you have heated seats, undo the electrical plug before sliding it all the way back

Mike thanks for the prompt reply, I take it the nut/bolt is at the front and centre?

Cheers

Yes it's under the seat in the middle. Seat has to be forwards slightly to remove it.

Is this the same set up for a 2.6 (2000) cabriolet

Hi Smokie, yes it is the same set up and although fiddly taking out the rear runners, it isn't difficult, I think I swore only 4 times in the whole process...lol

Thanks Gary, will take it out at the weekend as the leather is worn on drivers side and have got a guy to repholster the seat
