    Default Front seat removal help

    Hello everyone I got the airbag warning on my 06 GTI and I was planning on doing the TSB to fix it. My question is where can I get a tool to fit the bolts holding in the seat? I checked all my local auto parts stores and sears with no luck. According to the DIY the guy called it an m10 Internal wrench. Any idea where to get them or an alternative? Here is a link below.

    The M10 fastener used on the seat rails is often called a 'triple square'.
    I bought a set for removing the seats from ECS Tuning -> Short Reach Triple Square Driver Kit - 4 Pieces
    But it appears those might be on backorder for a long time.
    I also bought smaller sized triple square set for removing the banjo bolt on the HPFP from Sears, that set also included an M10.
    Sears also has a larger size set that should work for the seats -> GearWrench 4 Pc. Triple Square Metric Bit Socket Set 3/8'' and 1/2'' Drives
    Sears also sells the M10 standalone - GearWrench 1/2''Drive Triple Square Bit Socket 10MM

    Others have posted they have found them at Harbor Freight Tools, but I had no luck finding them there.

    If you plan to work on the seat harnesses, you want to be real careful not to fire off the side airbag in the seat with a static discharge. VW makes a tool to protect against that, but that tool is not going to help if you are cutting and splicing the harness.
