diy request: removing back seats
Hi. I need help removing my backseats as I dropped a rivet into the hole under the backseats while trying to remove my tail lights. Thanks!

Is there nothing in the manual?
I will be collecting my 86 in a few weeks and will be removing the rear seats just to see if the seat will travel any further back. I will make a little diy then |

Could you PM if you make that? I could definitely use more space back, don't mind losing some trunk space either. One inch more of leg room would have been amazing

I can make a quick one, it's suuuuper easy to remove the back seat lower cushions, you dont even need to remove the back rest to get to where the clip fell...i did the same thing so I know what you mean!

Here ya go. It's not really removing the rear cushions, just so you can get under them. Removing the rear seats requires a bit more work and I am not quite ready to embark on that journey yet.
All you need is a 10mm Socket and Ratchet. Undo this little fella right here: And Pull up! Thats where everything seems to end up that I drop in my trunk |

The bolt? It's only one 10mm bolt, might need a bigger ratchet to break it, if i remember correctly it torqued down pretty damn tight. The little ring thing is actually attached to the seat so you dont remove that.

Easy as pie, 1/2 inch ratchet with a small extension would do the job no problem.
