ok I am glad I skimmed through your video before doing this because I might not have unplugged my car battery, and exploded my airbag lol. thanks for the warning
I live in The Netherlands, Europe and here Corolla's are called Auris. The Toyota Auris here are all hatchbacks and do come with heated seats since many years! My 2013 Toyota Auris Hybrid also has hybrid seats.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor I removed the drivers seat from my recently dead 2008 Matrix yesterday, and put it into my daughters 2006 Matrix. I then put her old one into my car fir theb guy who wants my old one for parts. Neither had air bags but I did find a squirt of WD40 helped removed the bolts, a lot! I just bought a 2014...great Canadian built car.
Peter Finn the Car Doctor I have a 2014 Yaris and it seems like the same process to remove the front seat. Do I need to disconnect the battery in order to prevent the air bag going off? Also I plan to modify my car for solo car camping for part of the summer. How will that affect replacing my seat later on?
You can remove them to DYNO mad your car so you hear, and feel less street noise/vibration for a much more enjoyable ride. back seats too. Always worth it.
Hi Peter - thanks for the air bag warning - but what is the name of the tools you are using to remove the seats? I think a torque wrench and a long bar but what is the full technical name for these? I wanted to buy the same tool type and didn't want to get the wrong one. Thank you.
Hi Peter. Thanks for great vid! Do you know how works the system of folding and moving forward/backwards the passanger seat with the handle in the upper part of the seat (not that one under the seat)? I have corolla E12 hatchback 2005 with 3 doors and unfortunetly the passanger seat is folding, but not moving forward. If i want to move it forward, i have to grab the handle under the seat, it is very uncomfortable. If i remove the seat like you did, can i get an acess to that system and fix it you think? Greetings
Hello Peter, thank you for the detailed video! If I remove the front seat and do not put it back , will there be any alarms? When I drive the car, will the airbag or seatbelt alarm sound? I want to create extra space in the front for my dog
Will I be able to keep the passenger side seat removed without having any electronic issues? I'm going to remove the passenger seat for a camper build but don't know if it will trigger anything with me not having having the seat in there
Any idea if it would be possible to make the car seats of a toyota corolla slide further towards the dashboard? I am planning on building a bed frame for my car for camping trip, but the car seat doesnt go forward enough, i would like to have it move about 15cm more towards the dashboard so that would leave me enough room in the back of the car. I wonder if there is some kind of clips or something that are in the seat rails that prevent the seats from sliding off the rails? edit: another question, is the torque meter necessary?
once the seat is re-installed and the cables plugged back in....does one need to wait 10 minutes before connecting the "--" negative battery cable again ? or can the battery be reconnected immediately after the seat is completed. Thanks. Informative video.
What do I need to know about swapping seats from different car models? I saw a video where a guy took 7th gen. Celica seats and put them in a 6th gen. Celica. He had to increase the diameter of one of the holes to attach the original bracket to the new seat. Have I lost my mind thinking I can put a Scion tC seat into a 6th gen. Celica? If I have, please let me know so I can move on. I'm doing this on a budget and the best deals for two door seats are the tC seats. The Celica seats tend to be really beat up, especially the 6th gen. ones.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Nice! I didn't even think of trying to install a Honda coupe seat in a Celica, even though it is kind of an obvious move. Looking forward to your video. Thanks!
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Note that the 7th gen to 6th gen seat switch included removing the seat from the 7th gen bracket and attaching it to the 6th gen bracket. The hole drilling was in the bracket. So, at least in some cases, a bracket switch is possible. Duly noted regarding the importance of holes in the floor. Also, would appreciate it if you could address what to do when moving a seat that move electronically to a seat that moves manually with a lever. In that case, if seems like the brackets have to be switched so the new seat goes on the old bracket Again, TIA.
Hello Peter!! I have a 2003 corolla. i bought a set of used leather seats to replace the ones in mine. The mechanism of one of the front seats is damaged, and i like to change the metal base of the seats for the ones i have in my car. Do you knoe if it possible?
Hi guys, maybe somebody can help me? Toyota corolla 2012 airbag lights going on and off. some days is no lights and another days getting crazy. Thanks.
So I heard your supposed to disconnect both batteries first neg than positive and than put it back neg than positive but it doesn’t seem to be an issue here
I started to take my seats off and was about to pull the wires and decided to check a video first. Thanks for saving me from triggering my airbags 🤣
Very welcome!
ok I am glad I skimmed through your video before doing this because I might not have unplugged my car battery, and exploded my airbag lol. thanks for the warning
👍👍
I would listen to you teaching us how to bake cookies, your voice is wonderful thanks for the video
😊 thank you
Thank you so much for the slow, detailed approach. This was very helpful for me when I was working on my car audio system.
Ok and Thanks !
Excellent video sir! Thank - I am removing mine this week. I’m converting my car’s interior so I can use the extra space
Right on!
Thank you man! Been wanting to amateurly detail the interior of my car! And now I can🙏🏻
Any time!
Thanks, very detailed video!!! two thumbs up!!
Brilliant clear instructions and most helpful commentary. Thank you, Sir!
You're very welcome!
I think the last wire on the seat is not for a heater since Corollas never had that option. I think the cable is for the seat belt warning light.
Hi and thanks for your comment. :-)
You are most welcome. I really liked the video . Especially the safety part about disconnecting the battery first.
Maybe the spanner is of plastic!

U shud remove them 2 clean.
You can remove them to DYNO mad your car so you hear, and feel less street noise/vibration for a much more enjoyable ride. back seats too. Always worth it.
I doubt you could
i needed to pull a seat out to retrieve an airpod that had improbably wedged itself in the mechanism
Thank you very much!
Great video! Now to just find one to help me remove the rear seats on my Toyoyta Corolla Verso 2002, lol.
You can do it!
Hi Peter. Do you know if the front seats from a 2015 avensis will fit into a 2010 model? Cloth seats for cloth seats. Thanks
Thank you for this video very helpful
Hi and many Thanks for comment. :-)
i have just done this process on Elantra 2012

Hi and Thanks for info. :-)
Will 2011 corolla seats fit into my 2004? Dont like the pleather ones

Hello, Thanks for comment. :-)

Nice video dude.
Any idea if I would like to replace the seats with different models, which can fit for the 18 vechile.
Yes, please try
Great. Thanks!
Thank you! Cheers! 😀

Thank You for Your feedback. :-)
my 2015 corolla has terrible low lumbar support. is it possible for me to replace the seats with maybe a 2004 ?
Yes, if might be possible.
Wait! I have a 2003 Corolla and that is terrible also. I need to use a small pillow. Maybe we need to find another seat.

Hello Peter, thank you for the detailed video! If I remove the front seat and do not put it back , will there be any alarms? When I drive the car, will the airbag or seatbelt alarm sound? I want to create extra space in the front for my dog
No any alarms in Front seat. You can take it away

Yes. You can.
Would it work on a 2018?

It’s actually 30min wait instead of the 10 min way
Thanks♥️♥️♥️
Thanks 👍

No. You can connect cables same time.
Is that the exact same procedure for driver's seat? Any other cable/wire to remove? Great Video!
Yes
Can I put a new (2007) power Camry drivers side seat in the drivers side of my 2007 Corolla S which has a manual adjustable seat?
Yes, if they are same size

Great video, I need to fix the slider pin on my t-sport. It's a common issue on the corollas.
My dad has a broken front seat sliding mechanism, MOT'd recently. Do you think we could fix it if we take a look ourselves, or buy whole new seats? :)
Yes, if the car is Toyota.
Hyödyllinen! Very useful!
Hello 😃, I have read your comment and I appreciate it. Thanks. 👍
Thanks
Thank You for feedback, it is very important :-)
Great video. It's same for toyota echo?
Yes
Hello Peter!! I have a 2003 corolla. i bought a set of used leather seats to replace the ones in mine. The mechanism of one of the front seats is damaged, and i like to change the metal base of the seats for the ones i have in my car. Do you knoe if it possible?
You already bought em go try em impossible to know if it will work without any info ℹ️
IT MOVES TOYOTA WAY!!!!
Thanks for comment 👍😀

Thanks Sir. 🙂
anyone know if these bolt patterns are the same? could I bolt a 2014 seat in a 2006?
No 2014 to 2006, but 2005 to 2004 OK
I would remove my front seats from an 2003 Corolla, and install a 2007 Avensis leather seats. Is it possible?
Yes. Good comment and Let's All folk discuss more 👍😀
Can i run the car to move it once i carefully disconnect the air bag? Or will it be dangerous and set the air bags off?
Yes you can.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor ok thank you

Voiko tällä tavalla poistaa Avensis Versonkin etupenkit? Meinaan pitäis saada polttoainesuodatin vaihdettuu
Yes !
Glad the only thing I got is a seatbelt sensor because the seat is entirely mechanical lol
👍😀
Brilliant vid. Could do with cleaning that engine do 😂
Hi and Thanks for Feedback. :-)
Where can I purchase 2 new seat belts? One for the drivers side one for the passenger
You can buy it at every shop with seat belts 😉
Jan Johnny oh thanks for the help I still need to get em fixed after almost a year 😉
Not gonna lie I thought it'd be easier 😬
i need to do this to find a lost ring, what could possibly go wrong!!!
Do carefully and cables can damage, if you are too hard
Don’t touch anything yellow
I have never seen a seat bolt come out that easily. Not very realistic
Hi James, this is the Toyota Quality ! Bolts steel like Samurai sword quality. Banzai !
Can I drive the car while the passenger seat is removed?
(after safely removing the seat)
Yes
