How to Replace the Leather Seats in an Audi Cabriolet


1. Pop the hood and disconnect the Audis battery. This will disable the airbag light, preventing it from lighting up when the seats are being removed.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the plastic caps off all four bolts found around the Audis seat. Then, remove all four bolts with an Allen wrench, connected to an L-shaped tire iron, in a counterclockwise motion.
3. Unclip the seat heaters and the airbag sensors that are found under the Audis seat. If the seat heaters and airbag sensors are hard to see, use a flashlight.
4. Pull up and remove the seat away from the Audi.
5. Place the new seat onto the location which the stock seat was removed, and place and clip on the seat heaters and airbag sensors from underneath the seat.
6. Use an Allen wrench to attach the four bolts that were removed to the new seat, connected to an L-shaped tire iron, in a counterclockwise motion, and place the plastic caps onto the bolts.
7. Reconnect the battery and close the hood.
