Which socket to remove 2014 Via 25P passenger seat?

Hi all

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I need to get into the chassis electrical box to troubleshoot the battery mode solenoid. This box is under the passenger seat, which it seems I have to remove, because I don't see any access panels. The seat is installed with some bolts that look like inverted torx bolts, but they don't seem to match any of the standard sizes. The bolt head measures 12.1 mm point-to-point, which puts it between the E12 (11.1mm) and E14 (12.9mm) sockets.

Has anyne removed this seat before? Which type of socket did you use?

I’m told it’s an E socket set, size 14. I hope this is correct info. I don’t have any experience with these.

Does this look correct?

It looks correct to me, but so would E Plus type sockets, for example.

That looks like a T bolt head to me. I once had to remove a seat belt mount and had to find a T socket to fit it. I think it was a T-50 but I'm not quite sure. The auto parts stores have a lot of tools for automotive work and if you ask the clerk they might know exactly what size you need. Take your photo with along with you.
