I did think about that. I also thought about bending the slide tabs that are rubbing up slightly...
Working with the seat in place is such a drag! I presume as a safety I should pull the airbag fuse before disconnecting the seat electrical harness connector or is this overkill?
I also attach a 12v lab power supply to the battery jump start terminal under the hood (and steel chassis obviously) to maintain the memory / settings while the batteries are out. Any reason I shouldn't do it this way?
When I was putting a 3rd battery in my first custom DCiV, when I undid the 4 torx bolts holding the seat rails I could just lift it off and put it on the rear bench seat(pull all the seat belt out and wedge it so it doesn't go back in makes it easier) so if you only have a van i'm sure you could get it onto the passenger seat. I think the only electrics on the seat are for the heated seats and there was enough cable to move without disconnecting just unclipped in place. the airbags will be connected to the seatbelt tensioner and you shouldn't be going there.
