Removing the front seats from my -10 is a significant PITA, with the rear portion of the seat track touching the torque tube covers just before the front of the sliders clear the tracks. The obvious fix is to remove the torque tube covers, per instructions in the plans for installing them, but the design of my interior complicates that--side panels need to be removed; carpet (some of which is glued) must be removed, etc... to allow access to the machine screws holding the torque tube covers in place, and the covers themselves to "clear". It's certainly doable, but makes an already cumbersome job (removing the latches with minimal clearance from the sidewall interior panels) even more so.
I'm giving some thought to modifying the seat sliders--very slightly. Best would probably be to radius the front of the slides (concave, just through the nylon, but even a 45 degree angle would probably be adequate. Allowing the front of the seat slider to release when sliding the seat just a half-inch less currently necessary would make a huge difference.
Has anyone faced a similar issue and used this or another approach to resolve it?
