Removing rear seats

How do you get the rear seats out of the car? I am trying to run cabling from the rear storage under the center console and up into the dash.

Yank hard, straight up on the front of the cushions and they will pop up. Only clips hold those in. The rest of the stuff is held in by a couple bolts you will see when you remove the bottom cushions...

yea, the bottom rear seat cushions just pop up but it takes some muscle. The rear seat backs are held in with bolts and the center console in the rear seat is held in by bolts that you can access after removing the bottom seat cushions.

yup there are four screws for the back seat, two on the outside of the seat where the seat belts would fall down and two in the middle on the outside of the console. These 4 screws are on the bottom, unscrew them and lift the back seat up. Its a bitch to get out of the car though so have fun with that.

The rear bottom seats just pop up...pull on them from underneath

That's for sure!! Be careful of the center console lid. It rips very easily.

Just be careful not to wrinkle the seat cushions! Especially the front corners. Someone wrote that they would push their knees into the front side of the seats and then pull up...it helps, but my corners were wrinkled.

Dealership has had to take the seat out twice - they ended up breaking the clips both times. Not the best design in the world.
