Default Lexus IS f sport seat removals

Does anyone know any good links on how to remove the back seats in a 200t f sport? I’ve never done it and I don’t want to break anything

its probably like any car on the planet with airbags. disconnect battery. let discharge. undo four bolts and associated plastic covers (if any), tilt seat back, unplug electrical connectors carefully, remove seat. make sure you position seat so it slides out of car easily (make sure it's not reclined) and lower all the way down.

lay a cloth down over the side sill so you don't scratch the car.

and lift with the knees.. seats can get awkwardly heavy. you don't want to hurt yourself!

and make sure you thoroughly vacuum underneath =)

removing the headrest will probably be necessary too.

I think the OP specified the back seats...not the front.

Not sure why you need to remove them, but see the attached.
