This is warranty work (if needed) I would just let the dealer handle it.

As a recall they have a legal obligation to acknowledge that the condition is fixed.

Thanks Loren,

I realize that but i would like to check it myself first.

I just dislike dealers.

I removed the folding back of the seats but cannpot figure out how to remove the seat itself.

Once again THANKS.
