Default Help removing rear seats.

I tried to search on tips to remove the rear seats but only found "just pull up" or "pull towards you". I already took the passenger seat out and would like to do the rear. I know about the bolts behind the head-rest and see the clip where the bottom and top of the seat meets. I guess if someone can explain the how the bottom piece is held to the bottom it would help greatly. Thanks in advance.

The bottom piece of the seat is just clipped in start from either side, wedge your fingers under the seat and start pulling up. One of the easiest things to remove in our car. Good luck let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks, Ive read a few threads that say the same. I guess I just wanted to make sure I wasn't left with a crooked rear seat.

its foam there is nothing else there except the clips. I havent tried but unless you are doing something extremely wrong there is no way you can screw up ur seat.

you will never have a crooked seat unless you break/bend/etc the clips I've taken my seats out so many times and re-installed it with no problems.

I was a bit nervous taking the rear seat out the first time too... the clips are at about the midpoint of each bucket on fwd section. You might just have to put a bit more force than you might think, which was the case with mine. Just make sure you are pulling it by the clip area and you'll be good
