I need to do a little repair on my leather seat, just the driver seat.   I want to remove the seat and be able to torque it back to spec.   Anyone know the torque spec for the 4 torx bolts? 
 

Looked everywhere and couldn’t find anything for the 2019 and up.

If you must know this spec I would use a torque wrench to loosen them, close enough.

A torque wrench will generally be 80% torque on let-off.  For instance, if you are loosening the bolt and it breaks free at 80 ft/lbs, the tightening spec would be approximately 100 ft/lbs.  However, the use of loc-tite or any thread  locking liquid throws the 80% value out the window.  This percentage value also changes depending on whether you have mutual mating surfaces or mating surfaces of differing materials, ie aluminum fasteners on steel bolts.

 

With all that being said, stick with 45 Nm  (33 lb ft), that's what the service manual recommends :)
