How to remove front seats in 2016 View 24J

[obingv]

After seven years in the California and Arizona sun and heat, the cheap faux leather vinyl in our 2016 View has started to rapidly deteriorate. Since most re-upholstery businesses do not have a secure storage lot, I plan to remove the two front bucket seats my self to have them fixed. Our unit has the option that lets them be rotated to face into the living area as extra seating. I want to leave all that hardware in place and just remove the seats.
Any advice on how to accomplish this task would be appreciated.

Are they Flexsteel? I just peeked at mine and it looks like there are 4 bolts and nuts holding the seat to the pedestal and instructions showing which holes to use.

Easiest way is to undo the four bolt holding pedestial to the seat frame, than turn seat upside down to detach the swivel.

Thanks - just went to the storage lot and it looks like i even have the tools to do the job!

Got the seats off, needed an 11mm Torx socket, now headed to the upholstery shop(s) for a quote.
Thanks to those who replied with advice.

A piece of cake to remove mine. Four bolts and they're free. Larry 2014 Reyo P

I solved the problem of removing the four bolts by purchasing a Torx female socket set with the size to fit the bolt heads. Thanks for the reply.
