    Need to raise this seat to clear floor mat.

    Here are a couple shots of my front seat with cushion removed. Just how do I raise the trim around the edges of the seat. Will removing the screws in each top corner and placing shims do the trick?:confused:

    Tie Rod Plug Removal

    Tie Rod Plug removal One of the looks like an item that would clamp on the end for the screw and then once the cotter key is removed, could be used to turn the screw. I've seen these, maybe local auto parts will rent one.
