i'm gonna trade my cloth interior for someone's leather interior
i'm sure the front seats are pretty straight forward. i experimented taking out my rear seat, and i haven't tried taking apart the door panel/rear seat panel yet. anyone have any pointers? just a quick review or tips on taking out the front seats, rear seat, and panels. btw its a coupe. thanks

 

door panels: some screws...the rest are just clips...gotta pull hard

backseat is just some screws/bolts on the back of the top portion

bottom portion is just one bolt, pull back up towards the front, then pull seat up

front seats, four bolts each

rear seat panel? that thing is huge and a pain in the ***...

 

yes. take your time. be patient. nothing sucks more than a cracked panel or the like...

 

thanks f23power, but can u be kinda more specific?
where are the screws/bolts located?
okay, so front seats... just unbolt the 4 bolts, one at each corner
rear seat... fold the top part down and pull the bottom part up from the back part? then its off? or where is that one bolt located? front/back? middle?
and panels... this one i'm completely lost, where are the screws? am i going to have to take apart the entire door panel? i havent experimented with the door yet except for when i installed some 6.5 speakers in there. i was thinking for both the front and rear panel, i have to stick a flat head and force it out? thanks guys

 

for the rear upper there's two bolts, one on each holding the cushion to the pivot mounts.

the one bolt on the lower cushion is in the middle.

that's all I know off the top of my head.

do you have to take out the rear side panels?

 

well i dont think i have to...
its just it would be nice having leather side panels to go along with the leather seats and since i'm getting all of this for free why not?

 

I just didn't know if they were different or not.

To get them out you have to first get out the center upper plastic peice where the rear back cushion latches through. It takes 4 clips and the lip wraps around the metal... cafreful I cracked mine because i wasn't patient. Then the two side panels. They take one plastic push clip, two tabs on the side and one metal expander clip. Then you have to attack those rear side peice. Sorry I can't be much more help.

 

heh... ive become a pro at taking off door panels.

i can take pics for you if youd like, 5th gen right?

and seats.... piece of cake. too bad i cant help you do it, that would be fun. I like taking stuff apart

 

that'd be awesome!
haha yea... i had fun taking apart my dash, but i was sad when i was done and saw a handful of leftover screws that i forgot where theyr'e supposed to go...
oh yea and its a 5th gen coupe

Eh, probably been covered already...
Front seats are 4 14mm bolts each. Each door will be one or two philips head screws and a bunch of plastic fasteners. Rear seat bottom will be one 10mm bolt towards the rear of the seat, off center towards the drivers side of the car. Gotta pry back the cushion to see it. Once you get that off the seat bottom lifts from the rear and is just secured in the front by hooks. Rear side bolsters are one 10mm bolt at the bottom of each and a hook at the top. Rear seat back is 2 10mm bolts at the bottom of each hinge. Pillar trim and roof liner is all fasteners, maybe a screw or two. If you need to get off the entire B pillar trim you need to remove the seatbelt lower anchor and upper adjustable anchor, both 17mm.

 

awesome
that's exactly the kinda reply i was looking for! thanks bro

 

Sure and by the way that's for a 4th gen (I can't quite make out your avatar). 5th gen is probably the same.

 

if you still need pictures, just tell me

 

yea i have a 5th gen

and pics wouldn't hurt
thanks again guys
