    I need to do a small repair to my seat which means getting to the under side. The front two bolts are very accessible but the rears seem trapped even with the seat full forward. Can anyone give advice for procedure to remove the seats, passenger side is my issue. Do you need to remove the seat back first?

    On my 365 GT4 2+2, the rear bolts are accessable by moving the seat all the way forward. If you take the front bolts out first, you should be able to slide the seat further forward for access to the rear bolts.

    I found a small washer laying in one of the tracks and then the seat slid forward enough to get to the rear bolts.

    This trick also works for the Mondial 8 and 308 GTS QV. The front bolts should come out first to make it easier.
