    Scott,
    What a mess, very nice work.
    What kind of issues can there be with removing seats? With all the electronics, air bags etc. Any Problems?
    Thanks for posting

    No issues.

    Disconnect the battery before you unplug any wiring harnesses under the seats. If they're power seats you'll have to disconnect the battery once you've unbolted each corner, on a manual you can do it first thing.

    Some cars are a PITA to completely remove so to gain better access I use small pieces of 2x4s and various wood thicknesses to prop the seat up so I can work. Make sure the metal rails are baring the load and not the plastic connectors, etc.

    For example:

    Well, they looked like stink bugs but with all that food mess I jumped to the roach conclusion. Stink bugs don't bother me and I find they usually don't stink, anyway.
