trim. Undo the three retaining screws and
remove the mirror (see illustration).
5 Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Complete mirror - electric mirror
6 Removal of the electrically adjusted mirror
is similar, but instead of pulling off the handle,
the wiring harness must be disconnected. The
harness connector is inside the door cavity.
7 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.
Removal
1 Remove the trim which covers the seat
outboard rail. This trim is secured by a single
self-tapping screw at the front (see
illustration).
2 Remove the four bolts which secure the seat
rails to the floor (see illustrations). Remove the
seat, complete with rails; disconnecting the
seat heating wires (when fitted).
3 The seat can be separated from the rails if
wished, for example if attention to the
adjustment mechanisms is necessary.
Refitting
4 Refit in the reverse order to removal, but
observe the following tightening sequence for
the rail bolts:
a) Nip up the rear bolts.
b) Tighten the front bolts to the specified
torque.
c) Tighten the outboard rear bolt to the
specified torque.
d) Tighten the inboard rear bolt to the
specified torque and refit the seat rail trim.
Removal
1 Both front and rear head restraints are
removed in the same way.
2 Pull the head restraint up as far as it will go.
3 Release the catch spring by pushing it
rearwards and remove the head restraint. The
catch springs are located on the left-hand
side on front seats and on the right-hand side
on rear seats.
4 The guide sleeves can be removed if
necessary by releasing the retaining lugs with
a screwdriver and pulling them upwards (see
illustration).
Refitting
5 Refit in the reverse order to removal.
Removal
1 Uncover the hinges at the front of the seat.
Free them by extracting the circlips and
removing the hinge pins (see illustration).
The bench section(s) of the seat can now be
removed if wished.
2 Unclip the carpet from the backrest (see
illustration).
3 Free the backrest from its catches, unscrew
the side hinges and remove the backrest. If a
split seat is fitted, also separate the centre
bearing. On Saloon models the rear seat
backrest catch is retained by a nut, accessible
from inside the boot (see illustrations).
