Removing back seats

[DTWD]

Hi, I want to get the back seats out of my 91 RT. Haynes says "unclip the clips at the top of the seats and push seat forward. Then just work away from bottom edges" or something like that. Well they aint comming out, dont even look like they want to! Any ideas what I am doing wrong? It feels like there is something holding them in place pretty firmly, which is of course, what you would expect.

So can anyone help?

Are you on about the back part of the seat or the actual cuschion bit (the thing you actually sit on!!) To take the cushion out you have to pull it up at the back so its pointing upwards and then youll see two metal bits that hook into holes in the bodywork and you just have to work them out of the holes. As for the backs I think their bolted in place but Ive never tried to take them out.

Anyway, cos Im bored I decided to take a pic of what it looks like when I take the seats out of mine. This is taken from inside the boot if you know what I mean and you can see the two metal clips at the top holding the seat in place. BTW I assume youve got a three door, cos it will probably be a different kettle of fish altogether in a 5 door.........possibly.

Of course this is completely useless to you if you actually trying to take the backs out but what are you gonna do?

Cheers,
My brother came home about 2 mins after I finished on the forums. I told him what I was trying to do. He got changed and jumped into the back of the car. Looked over the seats, grabbed a flat head screw driver, popped the catches off and took the seats out. 30 seconds it took, 30 sodding seconds! I was there for an hour.

You can just lift the seats off in that position. Those things at the front arent actually bolted on to the car. So what you said was actually correct. But sadly my sodding brother had already done it.

Cheers anyway.
