Hi John,

    You need  to remove the metal strip along the edge of the sliding door
that holds your carpeting down and peel back the carpeting from front to
back. It should split underneath the seat ,( the carpet ), and take out the
padding , you'll see what I mean when you do the carpet thing. Then you
slide the seat out. It's on rails , quite overengineered and safe.
