Powe Seat Removal-2004 Dutch Star DP

On our 2004 Dutch Star DP, there is a corner section of square tile under the Flexsteel drivers power seat that has come loose and is starting to curl. I want to put a 1 1/2" metal seam binder frame around the floor where seat is mounted to repair and secure the tile to the floor with small nails/screws. Since the seat will need to be removed for enough work space, what are the (4) large bolts that go through the seat base secured to. Are they lag bolts that screw into the floor underlayment or perhaps threaded bolts that screw into a secured nut in the floor. I unloosened one of the bolts but it seemed to turn without appearing to retract from the floor. Anyone with a schematic of the seat mounting or information on having had to remove their seat on a similiar coach would be appreciated. There doesn't seem to be any access underneath the coach that I could see.

    I believe the bolts go all the way through the floor. I was going to take one of my seats out and while at the factory was told it is an easy but is a two person job. Someone has to be under the motor home to hold a wrench on the opposite end. I never went any farther


    Going by what you and others have said, I will use the jacks and raise the coach enough to where I can crawl underneath and check after the chiropractor gets my back readjusted. Had one of those "DUH" moments when stepping off the curb several days ago.:R

    Someone on another forum suggested using a blow dryer or heat gun on the low setting to soften the tile then use contact cement to try and reconnect the tile. Might try that also.:C
