^... the fuck
ahhh, i know quite a bit in this area (sadly
)
the car is in coquitlam atm to determine value and stuff. after that, the car will be sent to a salvage yard (likely the one in new westminster, under the queensborough bridge), where you'll be able to go to get your stuff back. you can take anything you want provided you replace oem things (small things like bulbs and stuff don't matter i don't think, i took em all and didn't replace them). however, some things (ie - bumpers) have to actually be towed out of the salvage yard to be removed from the car. they won't let you remove things like that at the salvage yard itself. seats may fly, i'm not 100% sure though. check with your estimator to make sure, otherwise, if you want to swap seats, you'll have to get a tow
i think you have to set a time that you're going to show up though. give your estimator a call and they'll give you the number of the salvage yard, or they'll just contact the salvage yard for you
good luck man, when you go swap your seats, that'll likely be the last time you'll see your car, ever. after i talked to the person behind the counter, she radio'd to have my car brought up. broke my heart (again) to see my car on the back of that flatbed that brought it up
final piece of advice - bring lots of tissue for the river you're going to cry
