driver's seat bottom removal - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I sat down with a screw driver in my back pocket and tore the seat bottom. I've been told I can just remove the bottom cushion and cover by just snipping the hog clamps...anyone have experience with this? I've found an upholsterer, but he wants the cushion out.

Thanx

I'd like to know how to remove the seat cover too. Mine is a 2002 Camry XLE.

Does the seat have any air bag stuff I need to be careful about?

my manual suggests a seat disconnect within 90 sec of removing the neg cable of the battery because the airbag system has a backup power source...

Disconnect the negitive terminal of the battery..... Wait 90 plus seconds....
Then go to work.

looks to me like you disconnect the battery and immediately disconnect the seat harnesses

The wrong method will get very expensive.
