How Do I Remove The Seats?

[bjensen83]

Hey guys, i need some help on removing my seats. I'm currently redoing my interior which includes replacing the carpet and removing the dash. Help!! :P

[bdyman]

rear seats:
fold down both seats
in the middle of the seats you will see like a bear type clasp, the seat clips in the middle first then slide it out from the trim panel on the bear clasp you will see a like a small arm that holds the seat in place lift it up and seat comse out
same on the other side

bottom seats:
on the front of the seat grip firmly and pull up and out easy as pie

front seats:
should have 4 torx size bolts i believe size 35 or 40 torx head
if you have power seat of course disconnect the wire`s

easy as 1...2....3.....
if ya have any more question i will be glad to help ya

removing the bottom of the rear seat wasnt that easy for me. there seemed to be these two clips that needed to be pushed in.. maybe they changed it for diff model years?

maybe im just not strong enough, but i tugged pretty hard!

i will be removing my back seat so ill try this later.

[bjensen83]

got the back seat out. but i only found 2 torx bolts for the front seats, and i also couldn't find a place to remove the top half of the back seats.

You have to fold down the both halves of the back seat first, then where the 2 meet they are attached at the bottom by 2 13mm? bolts that you need to use a wrench to undo. Very tricky, you have to push on the foam of the seat to get at the bolts, and they're even trickier to get back in. Once you undo the bolts the seat backs fold in a bit and just pop out of the holes in the side of the car. Watch your head on the locking mechanism on the back dash, i smashed my head on it repeatedly even tho i knew it was there.

[bjensen83]

ouch. that must've hurt. lol. thanks for the heads up.

[racin4JC]

To do the back uprights all you have to do is flip them down and then where they meet there is a little metal piece that just flips over the pin, just take a screw driver and hook it and that little metal piece pivots and flips toward you. Then just pull up a little and the other side just slips right out.

[bjensen83]

Thanks. I got it out quite a while ago.

just out of curiosity, how heave is the passenger seat (approx) and rear seats. if its easy to pop the pasenger seat out i might take it out when i go to rock falls 1/4 mile in the spring i REALLY want a 14.9 or better :D (of course ill have more than a cai by then! lol)

On the front seats there were only 2 bolts at the rear, and hooks holding the front, correct?

Correct.

Anyone know the exact torx size on the passenger seat (2003)?

I am going to try to mount my amp under the seat, and I've got to remove it to check if it will fit. I want to have all the right tools ready.

[BlackJack]

you using a torx bit on the inside, or a socket on the outside like I did?

by the way, would you mind using a little bit of punctuation here and there? I usually read your sentences about 3 times before I get the jist.

[battistoni21]

I'm going to be doing this is my 4-door today..... i just want my backseats out.... i'll let everyone know how it went when im done with it.....

[pimpalero2003]

Haha ha Sry blackjack. grammer isnt a strong suit. but yeah i figured it out took a lot of mussle, and a 15 mm socket. I proble still didnt use proper punctuation but i tried.
