LOL.

4 bolts, I believe you need a 12mm socket. To get to the front ones it is no challenge whatsoever. For the rears, take the plastic panels off to get to the bolts.

is the back seat all 1 piece or is it a top and bottom? so i just have to find the 4 bolts along the bottom (i would assume there under the seat cushion) and remove them then it all comes out?

are you ******* serioues

the front seats has 4 bolts. the rear you lower it down and look at the outside of each seat theres a small plastic plug you use pliers and pull them out, that will give you room to push each top peice towards the side then pull it off. after that the botoom peice has 1 bolt remove that then left and pull and wiggle

Lol, yeah its the 12mm use a socket wrench two in the front, below the seats and two in the rear, probably about 2-3 mins max to remove!

i got the front seat out no problem like you said, back seat bottom cushon came out no prob, but i don't see how you take out the backs of the back seat, it seens to be glued or welded down in the center and is somehow hooked to the sides of the car. how do i go about removing it.

also, if i do take that back piece out, will it be able to go back in or once it's out is it out for good?

There's a little clips between each back piece, and the rear quater panel. Get the clip out, and shove the back away from the middle, then take it out..

ok, so the clip is holding the seat to the quartel panel, but how is that center piece held on, it seemed to be on there pretty good

It's kind of "hooked" in, you have to kind of shove each back piece away from the center part to get it "unhooked". It really isn't rocket science.

Dude, instead of asking the questions in this thread, just search. Click that red link in the top right corner and search. Make sure you click "Archived Cntent" to get older thread.
