How do you remove the front seat of the Mini R53?

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Seat

In order to remove the front seat of the Mini R53 you have to push the seat backwards, so that with a socket wrench you can loosen the two bolts located in the front part of the sliding rails. Once these are loosened, the seat will need to be pushed forward to loosen the bolts at the rear of the slide rails. Then you will have to unplug the connector at the bottom of the seat, so that it can be completely removed. After removal, you will be able to connect the connector of the new seat and fix it again with the appropriate bolts.
