Its confusing, i couldnt even remove them, it looks like they've been bolted with a 100000 hp machine. Plz update asap. thanks guys

Step 3 - Once bolts are removed, lean seat back so you can reach underneath and unplug the airbag sensor connector. (This is why you disconnect the battery as a safety precaution, so there is no possibilty to deploy the airbag) Step 4 - Remove seat

I tried everything. I dont think i have air bags on my seats, because i dont have the sign for it, and i dont have an electric motor too. My seats are leather and no motor.
