IML: Front Cushion Removal

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

This method works great for installing clear plastic seat covers (if 
you like them, and I do). It allows removing the cushion without the 
entire seat assembly. '55 and '56 bottom front cushion simply lift out 
of the frame, I don't know about '57 through '59, but '60 through '65 
(probably '66) have blots holding the cushion as described by John.

Even easier would be to remove the seat from the track. Looking under 
the seats from behind, you'll notice 4 bolts holding the seat to the 
track that should remove easily. The reason I prefer this is that I've 
seen the track bolts snap off due to being rusted up. You snap those 
studs off, you have a problem.

If you have a '64 to '66 Imperial with split front seats (aircraft 
seats included, for you Coupe owners), the key to working under the 
dash is to remove the driver's seat and rail as an assembly.  It's four 
bolts (the FSM calls them "stud bolts" but doesn't say where they are) 
that protrude through the floor pan so they're easily accessible from 
below.  Remove any trim from around the rail, disconnect the power seat 
electrical connector and voila!  Of course, you must have eaten your 
Wheaties the morning of the day you do this, because those buggers are 
HEAVY.  Still, it's better than auditioning for the contortionist 
championship.  It's also a great opportunity to vacuum the carpet under 
the seat.



Happy motoring,

David
