How easy is it to remove the front seats...

Folks
I have a 97 3.2 Tl -

I want to take off the front seats to really give the carpet a good shampoo / steam cleaning. Was wondering how tough it is to remove the seats.

Anybody tried to do this before - anybody with some instructions to do this?

It's a - Premium Package (Heated Seats) and both driver and passenger auto seats - will that be a problem?

I looked in my 97 2.5TL manual and it doesn't look too bad. Yours should be quite similar.

1) Pull seat full forward, remove track rear end covers and remove hold-down bolts.
2) Slide seat full rearward, remove track front end covers, and remove hold-down bolts.
3) Access and release electrical connnections
4) Carefully remove seat through door.

Yours may be different and an Acura shop manual may be a good investment to insure no problems.

good luck

On most I have seen they pry off. You need shop manual for your vehicle for details like this.

good luck
