back one will not affect your airbag light nav its only the driver and passenger and your side airbags that will throw a fault light

it will be easier to remove your front seats as the trim panels have to come off to get acess just make sure to dissconnect the battery ie for the airbags as well as the seatbelt pre tensioners  :laugh:
