K need info/help driver seat was easy to remove and i know the passenger seat comes out the same but the space to get to the back bolts is way way to small to get any tools in.Is it my seat or are these always hard to remove.

Thanks Shane

My gen 1 was super easy, took just a couple min for each seat,the bolts are in the same spot. are you sure you are looking at the right ones? 4 on each side is all it takes.

My passenger seat only moves up to my Roe fire extinguisher but that leaves lots of room to get at the rear bolts.

I'm thinking that your seat doesn't move forward enough? Maybe the wire (for the slide adjustment) side to side connector under the seat isn't connected tight enough?

thats my problem my passenger seat only move like an inch so not alot of room.It takes alot of canadians cause when it snows it makes it hard to leave the igloo house and into the igloo garage without getting eattin by the bears. so all our tools get covered in the snow and ice and we can never find them .so we all have to share just one set of tools in the whole country and i think Jim you know you met him in Disney land a few years ago well he has them now in Ontario and when he gets the dog team hooked up to the Viper he will bring them out to me.LOL

But in a seriouse note my seat is BROKEN.LOL

OK, if your seats are like mine (1996 RT/10), they will only slide forward about 1.5 to 2 inches. This was not acceptable to my wife, so I cut off the tabs that stop the forward motion. Look under the seat, from the front, and you will see the "stop" tabs on both rails (left and right). Cut the tabs off, not easy with a hack saw, so perhaps a power tool. You will now have 4 inches of forward motion, AND NO the seat will not slide off the rail.
Not that it is necessary, but you can now get you full arm behind the seat.

Later,

Both seat bottoms will remove easy. Then it's a piece of cake to remove the four bolts to remove the whole seat. The bottoms are more difficult to put back in place.
