Re: 105 front seat removal

[Ian Lomax <sfalfisto@domain.elided>]

if you can get at them, the sliders should be attached
to the seat with either the same type allen head
screws, or philips screws (which will likely strip if
they are rusted) i would try soaking them in
penetrating oil for a day, then see if you can get at
them.

good luck!
