Remove rear seats 850 -94

Post by Fyndler »

Hey, so i tried to remove my rear seats, and looked at some youtube clips. But no success, i can´t get the metal bracket off. I folded the seat and see the bracket, but damn. It just wont come off, i tried use a screwdriver to push the bracket and another to lift it. But nope, it just won´t :/ Any suggestions?

There shouldn't be any bracket to remove.

I just pulled the rear seats from my 97 sedan. I used a larger flat screwdriver to lever the seat back towards the center, to get it clear of the spring bracket, then I just gave it a good tug upwards.

Hmm okey, so you pushed the seat to the center?

Sorry, was out of town for a few days.

Yes, the seat back sides both need to be pushed towards the center of the car.
