Thumbs down FML!!!!! big problemm

okay so i was going to my cousins communion on saturday and was somewhat running late, so as im in front of my girlfriends house waiting for her to come out to pick her up and go to the party, i am trying to put my gold bracelet given to me by my gf as an anniversy present on with one hand(PITA) neways, as im trying to put it on after about a minute or so the bracelet slips from my hand and falls by the seat and the metal column where the seat travels on if you move it back and forth. so im trying to get it and all of a sudden it falls through a small crack another 3-4 inches down past the carpeting and is laying on the frame it looks like!!. i don't think it can fall out of the car and i was so pissed when this happened. looks like ill have to take my front seat out and the bracket that the seat moves on to get my hand or some sort of tool in to grab the bracelet. i am so pissed and this is just my damm luck, is the front driver's seat hard to take off? FMLL

No, there's two bolts on the back side of the seat. take those out and then lean the front seat forward and take the front rails out of the grooves and off goes the seat. But before you pull the seat completely off there is a plug under the seat that needs to be unplugged.

It shouldn't be too hard. You could maybe find one of those magnets that is used to grab bolts, screws, etc from tight spaces. Actually I don't even know if that will work on gold, will it?

That's more of an annoying inconvenience than a problem, haha. You'll get it out, just gotta dig for it.

sounds like it fell under the carpeting through one of the wiring harness openings. use a 15mm socket to remove the 2 bolts and tilt the seat forward, unplug the harness and it should come right out. you'll then have easy and full access to getting your bracelt back.
