Can anyone help me with front seat removal? Just looked under the front seat have no idea where to begin. Wanted to install a Fire Extinguisher. Any hints? I couldn't find any posts on it.

Thanks

I went through this myself and ended up having it done at the dealer for 1 hour labor.

Yeah, I was that and will probably go with your set-up as well. However, I was thinking of doing it myself due to the dealership being over the snowy mountain pass!

996toomey By chance do you have a picture shooting up? Trying to figure where they connected it to, looks like it is not moving with the seat?!

Just did a fire extinguisher install.

The seat is held in by the rail, which is connected to the body by 4 bolts.

Slide the seat all the way back and remove the plastic covers on each rail in the front. They should side off easily by pushing on the tab of the cover. Reveals two bolts.

Losen the two star head bolts, I used a socket but don't remember what size.

Then slide the seat forward all the way and remove the other bolts in the rear.

I just tilted the seat inside the car and followed the cryptic directions on my extinguisher sheet to finish up.

Took about an hour messing around with it.

Which Extiguisher did you go with? By chance is there a link for the "cryptic directions"? Thanks for your help.

Safecracft with the Brey-Krause Bracket.

Turned out fantastic! The instructions came with the packaging, but they were difficult to understand.

Is this the same as you?

Found some online...

Yeah, after seeing 996Toomey's set up which he provided with pics, looks the way to go. those instructions do look a little confusing!

By chance you have any pics? which colors did you go with?


Thanks

does it look like this?

The red looks nice on the guards red...

A few shots: Very pleased with the result.

Thanks ziege for going to the trouble of taking pics. Looks great! BTW, why did you ad the Fire Ext if you don't mind me asking?

ziege

I've carried one in my cars since I started participating in DE events 7 years ago...

Just a nice safety item, never had to use one, though.

Plus it looks good!

The factory one (2KG Kidde) moves with the seat. Is attached to the front cross piece.
