How To: complete idiot's guide to removing the rear seat

***austinpike*** · 05-11-2007, 03:19 PM

Yeah it is basic but it gets asked now and then. And it is the first step in the spring install guide I'm typing up.

Tools: 12mm socket. Socket extension helps.

There are two brackets at the front of the rear seat. Remove the bolts holding them in and pull out the lower seat cusion.

There are three brackets holding the seat back in. Once the bolts are out you can lift the cushion off.
There are brackets at the top that support the seat; make sure those clip in properly when you put it back in.
Also pay attention to how the cushion fits through the seat belt.

Anyone know how much these back seats weigh?
