I'm curious...in case I have to do it in the future...do you remember what size socket you used to remove the bolts? Did you use a torque wrench to make sure they were properly tightened? Did you have to totally remove all of the bolts? Was there any electrical connections that needed to be undone?
Not bad. BWM asked me $1,500 for the same job (for the curious here, it was my wedding ring...). They said it's expensive because they have to disable the airbags.
caught me
I bought one of these and it's too thick. I was going to return it but maybe I'll give it another college try.
One caveat to this....I would find out the torque specs and tighten with a toque ratchet if you decide to do this yourself.. Or rather I feel compelled to say this should be a requirement if doing a seat yourself.
It was a while ago so I don’t remember the socket size or torque setting. But as I recall I didn’t need to disconnect the electrical connection since after removing all of the bolts I merely tilted the seat forward enough that I could retrieve the key.
It's open, because there is something that needs cooling. I am not defending the design, just calling out what it is. If you stuff a sock, it would overheat and fail/catch fire.
Interesting. I tried that one and couldn't get it to fit. I wonder if there's something oddly different about tolerances with my Forest Edge interior? Or maybe I didn't just cram it hard enough.
It should work. It's a very tight fit and you have to pull (stretch) the thing forward after you hook it around the seat belt female buckle end and push down from the top at the same time. Once it's in there, it doesn't move and has worked very well for me. I have one one both front seats.
It's a lot of hard cramming, for sure.Interesting. I tried that one and couldn't get it to fit. I wonder if there's something oddly different about tolerances with my Forest Edge interior? Or maybe I didn't just cram it hard enough.
I'm returning it. I loved the reply to cut a hole in a towel. LOL.
