If I recall, you need to gain access to the BACK of the seat tracks. Remove the plastic covers on the ends and they have 2 large bolts hidden under them. Remove them, pivot the seat forward and lift up and back (the front is held in with what looks like a "shark fin", nothing to remove on the front).

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! I explained to Bill what you just told me, he said it's hard getting to the back of the tracks because we can't start the car to move the power seat forward. He's trying his best though! Thank you so much for the help!

Quick update....we need to go home and bring a battery with us to get to the bolts on the back of the track...have to move the seats forward! I think this is the craziest thing we have ever done... Ironically, the vehicle next to us has a vanity plate that says "Don't Give Up"...is this a sign???? Too wierd!

That sucks, I know those days. Sadly, those power seats can pose problems in the junk yards. I hope you guys succeed.

And I know ALL too well of doing crazy stuff at a Pull-A-Part (me and some friends cut out strut towers for my Camaro a couple years ago, I still have them sitting, waiting for installation). We also cut the rear quarter for my wife's Mustang. <insert Tim Allen grunting>
Both items took 2-3 trips to complete due to issues with the power tools we had.
