Default Torx size for seat removal?

IF it doesn’t urinate down this weekend, I’m going to have a go at my under-seat airbag connectors.

But I need to lift the seats – I’m no good at soldering in confined spaces.

So can someone tell what size Torx I need please? I’m just going to order one bit off eBay…

Thanks

One of the OP’s favourite sayings is from Magnum Force, where Dirty Harry observes that “A man's got to know his limitations”.

The OP knows his. And he has to remove the seats
