Q: How to service and repair the front seat cushion on Mercury Cougar?
A: The front seat cushion service requires users to dismount the front seat followed by isolation of the safety belt warning indicator electrical connector before detaching the wiring harness from the seat base. Before proceeding you need to detach the retaining screws while releasing the retaining clip on the outer seat base side trim panel. The wiring harness needs disconnection from its seat base retention clips as well as electrical connector points. You must disconnect the drive cable connectors at the backrest motor on the seat base to detach the seat backrest drive cables. Disconnection of electrical connectors leads to termination of seat base wiring harness operations. Take the seat track assembly off and separate the cushion cover from the base of the backrest by untying all retaining strips from under the seat. The hog rings must be cut away from the seat underside to disconnect the cushion cover while lifting the cover and pad through the seat backrest from underneath. Creating the structure requires doing the opposite steps of what was needed for disassembly.
Q: How to service the rear seat cushion on Mercury Mariner?
A: Service of the rear seat cushion begins by removing the full rear seat cushion.

First remove the rear seat base cushion from the vehicle and then follow with removal of the rear seat base. The next step requires removing two bolts from the rear seat base bracket while tightening the bolts to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) when reattaching them. Reassembly must start with the reverse procedures of the breakdown phase.
