    Interior removal?? HELP (backseat/parcel shelf)

    How the fuck do you remoe the back seat?!?
    I got the bottom off (just pulled it off) it's the back rest that is a pain in the ass. i thought you were supposed to pull it up and out, and i know that if it hasnt been done before it will be stiff, but it WILL NOT MOVE, even with me and my dad both pulling at it!
    There must be SOME kind of clasp or bolt or latch or ANYTHING holding it in...

    I need the seat out so i can remove the parcel shelf,
    if this is not the way to get the shelf out, PLEASE TELL ME HOW!

    i need it out to cut bigger holes for the 6x9's

    Thanks,
    James

    The rear seat has a bolt on eaither side. They are located in the lower corners of the seat back. Then it slides up

      As he said... one 10mm bolt at the bottom of the back seat on each side. You might have to pull back the vinyl on the panel a little bit to see it. Once those are out, just lift up and then out. The parcel shelft... youll need to take the speakers out and unplug them. Then there is one clip in the middle of it. Door panel clip style if I recall correctly. It might break when you try to pull it up.

        Don't forget the seat belts going through the parcel shelf too.

          I want to take that out too, is it too hard to get to the bolt holding the seat belts ?

          Are the seat belts fastened under the parcel shelf or inside the trunk ?

          Will the seat belts, once I remove the bolt go through the slot on the parcel shelf or will the plastic trim just come out easily of the parcel shelf instead ?

              thanks so much guys!
              got it all done, turned out to be really easy, just didnt see that 10ml bolt.
              I'll post pics of it all finished in the car tommorow on the audio section. SO FUCKING SWEET! fuck i love it!

              you can just pull the plastic belt surrounds out and slip the belts through, then do the same on the shelf itself. really simple.
              i have pics if u need.
