One thing to watch out for on the Boxster, is makes sure you disconnect the battery before removing the driver seat.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Check out Perfectlap's new seats: http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2656&highlight=seats Pretty tight huh? I haven't replaced the sets in my Box, but I have taken them out before. I have replaced seat in other vehicle's before. You just have to make sure the mounting holes line up, or use of fabricate a mounting bracket. One thing to watch out for on the Boxster, is makes sure you disconnect the battery before removing the driver seat. There is a plug under the drivers seat that if removed with the battery connected will cause the airbag light to come on, and it won't go of unless you go to a Porsche dealer or someone who has the PS tool of some sort to reset it. (also have your radio code handy!) HTH, Larez2
