Hi
For some time I have had the common problem of cracking Front Seat Plastic trim (around the side of the front seats). Replaced Trim once and broken soon after !@#$#@
After some enquiries I was told that the problem is caused by the three parts of the contoured seat foam parting company (apparently they are glued together)? leading to a saggy cushion that makes contact with the plastic each time you get in or out.
Following getting a Quote from Merc Stealer for the replacement foam of $1200, it was suggested that an upholsterer may be able to fix the old seat foam, so I made some enquiries and got a more digestible estimate of $200.
I proceeded to remove the seat from the car to get at the lower seat cushion so I could take it to the upholsterer for repair.
I am now stuck with the seat disconnected as far as I can, and I can not see how to get the seat apart in situ or out of the car for further disassembly.
The parts I cannot disconnect to get the seat out are:-
1. The cable that I think runs to the seatbelt height adjustment or the headrest.
2. The Air line that goes through a hole in a metal component and into a metal box (attached to the seat) it then emerges in a different coloured tube and goes to a plastic box attached to the metal basin part that holds the seat cushion.
I need help / advice on how I can get these connections undone so I can totally remove the seat from the car and disassemble it so I end up with the bottom cushion unit.
HELP Please
