front passenger seat removal
Hello: I just purchased a 2005 Boxster and the previous owner left a large CD case holder under the passenger seat and from moving the seat forward and back the drive motor came disconnected from the left hand drive rail mechanism. I have been able to remove the back two torx screws from the back rail. But unable to find the two front torx screws for the front rails, I have removed the plastic cover over the front rails. The seat is stuck in the forward position. Is access to the front two torx screws from underneath the car, under the plastic cover? Any assistance will be much appreciated.
Thank you; Gerd Last edited by 2248; 08-15-2012 at 12:40 PM.. Reason: error |

They should be visible from above once you remove the plastic covers. You need to slide the seat back all the way. It also helps if you tilt the front of the seat up.

Driver 8; The drive mechanism for forward and back had broken, so the seat was stuck at the most forward position, the rail torx bolts were not exposed. At first I was going to put a drive cable into the right rail and another in the left rail and try to move it back with two cordless drills. But there is a 10 mm nut attached to a torx bolt below the seat cushion on the right and left forward corners. I removed those and the seat would tilt back just like a rocking chair and expose the drive motor and could be repaired. The motor was just held in by two rubber grommets, with one broken from the CD case under the seat from the previous owner.
