real quick help

ok so I am taking my back seats out right now (im taking a break to ask this) and I took the 10mm bolt out and I see the 2 clips in the front but I still cannot seem to get them out. I searched, YES. But I still dont see anyone else with the trouble I am going through. Can anyone walk me through this really quick, Thanks

Okay if you take all the bolts out you should be able to just lift the seat up and the clips should undo

I had that same problem, and was pissed when i realized how simple it was hah

The only bolt for the bottom cusion is the 1 10mm bolt right?

Am i supposed to pull up REALLY hard or what, because many people were talking about screwing up their clips and Im definantly not trying to do that!

YES! You were right, I found the 2nd bolt and it is out too..

im am trying to pull straight up on the cusion but it isnt wanting to come out? Do I push in or pull out on the clips, and is it safe to use alot of force, or are these clips fragile?

Okay I went out and looked at my car, There was only one bolt for the bottom cushion and it was in the middleish area, but it looked to me like I was missing another bolt, so there should be two bolts in the middle area, you can find them at the base of the back rest cushion.

It turns out it was my back cushion that isn't even bolted in at all, that piece i can just lift up, the clips come out and the cushion comes right off. that's not too safe!

did you take out the seatbelts yet? Because you arent going to get it out without them removed... or at least pushed through the cushion so they are no longer connected to it.

Ok, I reread this and some other searches and got both 10mm bolts out and i pushed the seatbelts through.

I can open the seat bottom up, pivoting on the clips. I CANNOT figure out how to get the clips loose. what did you do?

and thanks for the help!

I really don't know what else to tell you, just wriggle it around in different directions and positions I guess, my seat was fucked up, like i said there were bolts missing etc.

Try taking out the back cushion for better visibility?

Good luck

all you do is get a pair of pliers, needlenose will work the best, grab the clip/tabs things and pull towards the car as hard as you can, the seat should "pop" up, that's all i did, i fucked up the hole by trying to remove the seat by just pulling up, goodluck

the tab things should just look like flat metal pieces laying flat against the carpet, probably with a folded end on them if i remember correctly
if you can take a pic to make sure we are talking about the same thing that would be great, but i'm 90% sure we are anyways
