Removing my seats

I'm going to be swapping my seats out with new seats. Other then the wiring harnesses, is there anything else I should be aware of? Does the seat belt just unscrew on the bottom? Looks pretty straight forward, any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John

Re: Removing my seats

Yep thats' it! I took my C5Z seats out several times and it took all of ten minutes. Unplug before you lift out. Good luck

I don't know whether you have side airbags or not, but I think all the C6 seats have the seat belt pre-tensioners, which are part of the airbag system.

I recently replaced my C6 Z06 seats with full power seats out of a regular C6. I don't know whether I was being overly cautious, but I made sure I pulled the airbag circuit breaker for about 10 minutes to allow the power to dissipate in the airbag circuitry before unhooking any airbag plugs under the seat.

Again, maybe that's overkill, but I didn't have any problems by doing that.

And yes, the seat belt just unbolts from the bottom of the seat - there's a bolt sticking out of the side of the seat with a nut on it. After unscrewing the four nuts that hold the seat to the floor, lift up the back of the seat (I put a small hunk of board under the seat rails to hold the seat up) and unscrew the nut that holds the seat belt to the seat.

Bob
