Front seat disassembly question

MarinerMan · Post by **MarinerMan** » 18 Nov 2024, 20:50

So I have been trying to find out how to break down the front seats for storage while doing other interior work. I have found dozens of threads on removing the covers or skins, but is there a simple way to detach the back from the seat base?
This is for 99-00 power seats with the airbag inside, and they are heated. So I know there will be some wires connecting the two parts. If the answer is no, I will understand. I just don’t have a lot of room for a complete set of seats in my apartment, so stacking would be better. Thanks y’all.

You know there are 2 small black levers at the bottom of the rear of the seat back you can lift and the seat back folds flat onto the base?

they have these levers on powerseats as well?

i've never seen them on my R, gotta check that out. All manual seats have them for sure.

I had them on both 2001 and 2004 v70s, as folding down the passenger seat was the way to get really loooong stuff into the car.
