I'm installing sport adaptive seats today. Did a search already and couldn't find it: does anybody know the torque spec for the bolts that go on the railings? It was pretty tough loosening them from the old seats, and I'm just about ready to tighten them up. Thanks.

Nm, found it: 50 Nm (37 ftlb.). Page 3128-29 in the shop manual.

Does it indicate the correct tightening sequence?

mpath

Not specifically. First diagram shows instructions to tighten the rear bolts to correct torque. Next diagram to tighten the fronts.

Don't forget that Porsche states that you need to replace the bolts since they are one time use.

mpath

Yes, thanks, new bolts.

chuck911

Definitely replace the bolts. I shudder to think what might happen otherwise. Porsche employs a whole department of people dedicated to determining just how many otherwise perfectly good and reusable parts they can get away with telling customers must be replaced. You don't become the worlds most profitable car company just by selling cars, you know. Profits are one thing but the thought of all those guys losing their jobs, like I said, shudder.

Here's the torx screw part #WHT007691, and the diagram courtesy of Auto Atlanta:
