I finally got the front seats out. The hardest part is getting the wiring harness removed from the seat itself.



In this right picture you can see the special cable tie that needs to be squeezed together so your able to pull cable tie out of the hole.


The brown connector seen below is part of the main harness connectors. The other two connectors need to be removed to make it easier to get to the rest of the connectors of the main harness. I was able to get these connectors disconnected by wiggling it out since there is very little room.




Front seats are out and need to get the carpet vacuumed up.





I also finally got the new door card clips and the round part that installs in to the door frame hole is a tiny bit small. So I'm not sure how to get them to stay into the door frame without easily being pulled out? The reason why I found this out is because I had to take the door card back off because I forgot to install the pull cable for the inner door release handle.


Bad news, I misplaced the little metal clip for the pull cable as seen in this picture below.
