I'm trying to remove slide rails, but i'm not sure on what type of bolt this is and how to remove it? Do i just pry it off?

That might not be a bolt that you need to remove. Are you swapping the rails on to another seat?


It is kinda hard to tell with your crappy pic.

Yeah, those rivets don't need to be removed to swap rails (if that is what your trying to do).

Stop cutting those! Those rivets don't need to be sawed off. Remove the pastic on the side of the seat and look for the correct bolts to remove the rails.


When swapping seat rails there is no cutting involved just bolts.

Yah there rivets that go all the way threw. I took apart an extra set of rails and made a custom seat bracket. There are kinda a pain to get out. But i took a dremel cutting disk and just wanked it off. LOL Seem to work ok for me.

Hope this will help yah out.

This is true if you are making custom seat rails. But if you are just swapping the rails on to del sol or integra seats you don't need to cut the rivets(Idon't know which you are doing).

you dont need to do any of that stuff..if you are swapping seats rails between any type of honda/acura seats what you have to do is go to the bottom of the seat and remove the entire metal plate which is on the underside of the seat..the rails are attached to this metal plate..all honda/acura plates should be identical this way you just swap out the underside of the seat and it makes it much easier.. i know someone who did this when he put s2000 seats in his EG .. also i think there was a similar write-up on this site itself on some1 who did the same thing with s2000 seats in his EJ

ill seach for u

That's fine if the seats don't have the same mounts for the rails, but if they do (such as Del Sol, EG Civic, DC2 Integra) then it's WAY easier to just swap the rails. And you DON'T need to grind anything, just do what was mentioned above, remove the plastic side panels and unbolt them.
