I removed my rear seats for restoration and they weighed almost nothing, like Sky said. If I remmember correctly my front seats weighed in at 42 lbs each. Also I've got a question about the refrigerant used in the AC. When I removed my AC I just unscrewed the lines and let them loose. The stuff started spraying everywhere. I got it in my mouth and eyes and pretty much all over. It didn't really sting my eyes, tasted bad though. My question is, is this toxic or dangerous or anything.

Dunno, AC refigerant is a fllurocarbon and wasn't supposed to react with much? Was an oily gummy mess left over? Thats the the lubricating oil in the system. About the worst thing I beleive can form though is trace amounts of acid (hydrochloric I believe) if the dryer is capoot. As for the freon I think a few sun burnt penguins and aussies might be a bit more upset at you
