Any idea to mount tablet on seat rail??

[Mikeez]

Hello, I have this tablet seat mount that gets hooked with the bolt on the seat rail.... If that made sense..


Anyways, how do I loosen the bolt on the seat rail? I know I need a LONG torque wrench and a special E-Torx wrench or something (E-10?)? How tight is it lol?


Or do you have any idea for this??? Check pic attached

It's pretty tight. Make sure you have the right fit socket for it and be careful.

Once removed you can replace with a "normal" head bolt to make it easier in the future. That's what I have done for my fire extinguisher mount using those bolts.

just drive the car, don't worry about Fn tablets

Thank you for the help, but what kind of wrench you used?

For the second person, I want to mount the tablet.

Nearly missed this question @Mikeez - remember to tag as there's so many posts on this forum.

I used my large torque wrench with an adapter to fit the small socket.

Yo - just out of curiosity - do you have a link to a pic of how this thing will be positioned after you get it done? I have a cafi android unit mounted in my dash but I am curious how this will look.

Thanks and gl!

If you want, once it's done I'll make a journal and tag you?

I've been there with this mount. The pesky security bit came out (carefully) with a standard hex. Then I realized the forked tongue is too fat to fit in the dimple of the seat rail.

I didn't feel like adding washer spacers to get up out of the hole, along with a longer bolt to compensate for the lost threads so...

Second choice: Passenger footwell side of the front center console. Pop off the plastic trim piece to reveal a few eligible bolts. I think they were all standard hex.

Be careful bending the pipe of the mounting arm. It's strong but can fatigue and break if you abuse it.

GL!

Subbing because I want to do the exact same

Is it bad that I don't have the car, yet am planning out the thousands in mods that I want? Nahhhh

I'm not very familiar with the words haha, whats the front ceter console? Isn't it the one next to the passenger seat?
