Having trouble with 2019 RTL seat bolt removal - help? Ideas?
Hello everyone. I am trying to remove the stock seat on our 2019 RTL. Each side has a bolt and a hex nut in a square plastic housing. On one side, I somehow pulled the nut out of the square plastic housing. When I turn the bolt, the hex nut spins with it. I can't seem to access the nut to hold it when removing the bolt. I am wondering if it is cross threaded or something.
Does anyone have an idea on how to remove this bolt and nut? I tried from both above and below the seat. There is not much room to get anything in there to hold the nut when loosening the bolt.
Thanks all!

If you take the back part of the seat off (passenger back rest) you will have more room to work on the nut and bolt on the lower seat that may help if you have not done that.

I did remove the passenger back rest. I can access the bolt head this way, but the nut is inside the plastic parts that the seat mounts to. Thanks!

Please remember to stuff the holes with rags. A dropped nut may never be recovered. All those under seat bottomless pits are now filled with bits of foam---- the under seat area stays so much cleaner.

Have you tried a flat screwdriver with the tip between the plastic nut and the mount?
