how to remove rear seat ?

brian albert · 11-27-2005, 12:17 PM

I am installing rear seat covers from Wet Okele in an 05 Prius. I have the back covers installed and now need to do the bottom covers which requires removing the rear bench seat botton. Any one do this yet ? It appears there are 2 white pllastic type fasteners at the front of the seat and several bolts in the rear. Can anyone provide some goos instructions.

Thanks
Brian

Place fingers under front bottom edge of rear seat cushion. Pull upward. Do the same on both sides. A "male" piece of metal projects into a "female" plastic receptacle. The lift front of seat upward and forward. Pick up entire cushion, apply seat cover outside of vehicle (straps link and go under bottom of cushion). To install bottom cushion, accomodate seat belt receptables, push back to "seat" into place, then push down on front of seat on both sides.

No bolts.

If you go to

scroll down to pages 43-45 (the pdf is on XM radio installation and you don't need the other pages) and you'll see pictures of the removal.
