What fastener would the proposed push pins be replacing? If it's the bolts
securing the seat to the slide or the slide rails to the floor, this wouldn't
be a good idea (I'm going from a look at the Parts Book microfiche - I haven't
looked at the seat installation in my car).
Ball-lock pins are designed to be loaded in shear, but they don't secure
components axially like a cinched-down bolt and nut, and the lateral movement
that would result from the necessary assembly clearance would be undesirable
in a seat installation.

I missed that comment, but it might have been referring to using something
like hood pins. This, however, would definitely NOT be a good idea in real
life, since those pins aren't designed to take any real load, as might be
experienced in an accident.

Earlier this year someone said something to the effect:
If I had known how many times I would be removing the seats, I would have
installed push pins (<---???) for easy seat removal.
Does any one remember this, or remember saying this? What was being referred
to?
Thanks
Looking to speed up and make easier the removal of the seats in my 2000.
