removing backseat support

[eric head]

I have both of my backseats removed but I can't get the back part that you rest you back on to come off its very difficult so can someone help me out please asap cause I would like to do it tommorow while I have the chance

assuming urs is like my 01 bird
the back seat coushin is 1 piece, the 2 coushins u sit on are seperate however. to remove the back rest u must

remove the plastic quarter panels in the trunk to expose the seatbelt housing.

unbolt the seat belts

u will also need a star shaped allan wrench or preferably one that a socket version to unbolt 2 or so bolts

and it should slide on out

if i forgot ne thing please chime on in guys

I don't remember taking the seatbelts apart. I think I just unscrewed the guides that the belts go thru. But there is a torx bolt on there that I had to get... it's some weird size.

yah i was thinkig bout doing that route but it was ez to keep it all together and remove it all in one shot. but i mite do it that way. just have the light butt cushions and seatbelts and remove the back rest. since the back rest is the majority of the somewhat little weight there is.

wow yall just about answered his question completely but if i woulda seen this earlier man i think i know just about the WHOLE inside of my car! THE only thing i have not taken apart is the front seats(will do eventually) and the upper dash, which i did on the maro which mean i have been through the WHOLE interior of an Fbody!! wow i have torn apart my interior on the bird so many times already and i have only had it since LATE OCT!!! dang system giving me problems and me deciding on diff stuff, also i might have to redo my amp rack again as i might go N20 route which mean bottle will have to go there, ERGGHHH!!!

I was just swapping from cloth to leather, it made more since to leave the seatbelts.

The front seats are almost as easy as the back buckets.
