    This may be a dumb question to most of you....but how do I get my rear seat out? I've yanked and pulled but seems to be real tight. I want to avoid doing any damage:banghead: . I am trying to get the rear backrest out that leads to the trunk. Thanks for any help.

    The top half is bolted in. If you reach your hand down between the lower seat and the back rest half of the seat, you should be able to feel the bolts down there. To get the lower seat out, push back and lift up on the rear of the seat to release it. They can be a real bear to get out sometimes. Once that is out it will be easier to take the bolts out of the upper half. Once the bolts are out, lift up on the upper half to release it.

    Ohhhhh....thanks a lot! :slap: I should have looked harder, but my car is stored in the drive in basement and it is a dark work environment.
