Dude, I have found that the 20 minutes it takes me to pull and replace the drivers bucket seat is WELL worth the time. At 40, squeezing in through the door and in front of the seat on my back was tough. At 60+ (I'm 69 now) it's almost impossible. Taking the seat out makes it SOOOOOOO much easier. In fact, the time you save will probably be more than the time it takes to pull and replace the seat.
