Agreed. It would be pointless to leave them in. Just keep em around incase you ever put the back seat back in.

I weighed mine when I took them out. I can't find the thread but I believe they totalled 3lbs.

i pulled mine out along with everything else. headliner, plastic interior, rear window wiper, rear seats and rear seat belts, & rear carpet. Im going to pull out the sound deading crap from the chassis soon.

Ohh and if you dont have rear seat i cant see any reason to keep the belts in.
mho

those seats belt retractors,the air bag/bags and rear wiper combined probably weigh more than all the plastic interior peices combined minus the dash. i have removed the belts,bags,wiper and rear seat but i really like my door panels a guy on clubsi used to have a quote in his signature that said "id rather run 14.0 with my interior, than 13.99 without it" im with that guy
