Santa fee 2003, front seat belt buckle part, the plasitic came offf. I ordered a new part to replace the old one, but am having a hard time getting to the bolt that this piece is attached to. Yes I have to replace the whole piece not the the plastic part that broke off. I hurt myself from time to time so I really would like to get this done. I have removed panels, not afraid of replacing them, but still unable to reach the bolt. Or is there a way to remove the front seat, then fix my issue, then replace my front seat?

Hyundai santa fe 2004 how can i install two front seat,

2 bolts in each of the seats' floor rails... total of 8. Wire harness connectors may not be the same power seat control harness, seat heaters, etc. Research of connectors shows floor harness connectors are identical between 04 & 05. However, optional features like seat warmers in the wire harness of the 05 model may not exist in the other and vise versa.
