im hoping this isnt too difficult? i need to remove my rear seats to do a total cleaning as my dog took a **** in the back seat!!! im about to pay a place downtown to detail the interior, but if it is simple to remove i will. but i cant really see what clips they are talking about or which tabs, or what tools besides a screwdriver lol i dont know, i might just suck it up and get it detailed...i just hope they remove the seats to clean it all out.

Arcuhtek, you rock! Thank you for all your efforts in writing this detailed post. I spent about an hour taking out the seat and realized there may be a better way. Thanks again for the effort!!!!!!!

Thanks dude! It took me a few minutes to find that first clip, but without this thread I would have been lost!

When i did mine i got so frustrated with trying to reach my hand behind the seat that i was ready to give up, this article had not been written or else i would have tried this method also, So what i did when i took my seat out was i loosened the seat belt mechanism as shown in the picture than i grabbed hold of the top of the seat and pulled towards me the 3 plastic clips at the top of the seat all came free and the seat folded forward for me to easily reach my hand behind and undo the clips. This would better be considered the brute method though.

I have no idea how you got your arms behind the backrest. I did, but not without a lot of strain and effort. Once to got my hand on the slip, I found that I had no range of motion left in order to even attempt to free the clip (even when pushing down on the seat..etc.).
i had same problem when i went wading thru a creek last fall. Interior got wet so we decided to strip the interior. Couldn't for the life of us figure out how to get that backrest off! One word: Youtube. There it was in living color from beginning to end. Simple video instructions. After looking at three other print articles and no success, this was a god send.

thanks for the tips - a scorpion got in behind the seat... and reaching around with our hands didn't seem like the best option!

Now I have a scorpion in a jar, and am in the process of installing sound dampener, two amps, all new speakers, a sub and a very cool full range vibro-tactile transducer (not a shaker, an i-beam - R. Fosgate picked-up the license)...

so I guess thanks for the scorpion-proof seat removal tips, and the resulting new system!

I will use this guide when I attempt to pull my seat out tomorrow.
I'm curious though, what are you all attaching the mdf onto(that allows you to mount an amp against the wall)? Is it a steel frame behind the seat or something?
Also, how much clearance is there between the wall and the back of the seat?
