Need help removing rear seat..

banshee08 · 09-27-2009, 11:43 PM

Anyone know how to remove the rear seat bottom cushion? I am working on sound deadening and only have the floor and rear seat left and was wondering how the heck to get the rear seat off.

Anyone install leather covers that has taken removed the rear seat cushion??

Thanks in advance,

Chan

Hi Chan,

Just push your front seats forward to get a lot of room in the back, then reach on the bottom of the rear seat and pull upward with a lot of force. The seat will come off. It's just held in by a couple of clips.

That's just like the Gen II's rear seat bottom. Good to know.

Will give this a try next weekend. I need to let my back rest for a week before attempting that again. Wow, I remember sound deadening a much easier job when I was younger.

Thanks again,

Chan

If it's just like the Gen II, in the front there's a hook on the left and a hook on the right which you unhook by lifting the seat up from the center with your left arm on the left and your right arm on the right of the center hump.

Once you lift the front up you should be able to see another hook or hooks in the back.

Here are the Gen II Seat Assembly Instructions. Page 15 illustrates and describes how to remove the rear seat cushion:

This is a great doc, as I have my Katzkins, and my hog clipper......

Can anyone confirm this also applies to the 2010 model (for seats)??????
