97 850 rear seat lower cushion removal?

Post by scot850 »

Again, haven't had a sedan in a long time, so do I recall correctly you need to just pull up the cushion base near the middle, and to re-fit the reverse with a little attitude to get it to lock back in?

Thanks,

Neil.

I recall that there are two catches, one on each side of the seat, and that they just pop free when you pull upward. I think I used a pry bar to get underneath them and then popped them up. Reinstalling them is done by just pushing downward.

Going off memory..
At the rear of lower seat, reach in the corner of the seat and pull on the fabric loop tag towards the front of the seat. Relieve the red plastic safety lock towards the seat and car hinge assembly. Lift cushion up and out.
