Gather Your Tools

Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary tools:

  • Socket wrench or ratchet
  • 10mm socket
  • Flathead screwdriver
  • Pliers

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lower the Seatback

Locate the two release levers on the sides of the seatback. Pull them up simultaneously to release the seatback and lower it to a flat position.

2. Remove the Seat Cushion

Lift the front edge of the seat cushion and pull it towards you to detach it from the hooks.

3. Locate the Bolts

Underneath the seat cushion, you’ll find two bolts on each side. Use the socket wrench or ratchet with the 10mm socket to loosen and remove these bolts.

4. Disconnect the Seat Belt Buckle

Unbuckle the seat belt and locate the buckle on the side of the seat. Press the release button and disconnect the buckle from the seat.

5. Detach the Seatback

With the bolts removed and the seat belt buckle disconnected, the seatback is now free to be detached. Lift it upwards and out of the vehicle.

6. Remove the Headrest Posts

If desired, you can also remove the headrest posts. Use the flathead screwdriver to pry the plastic covers off the posts and pull them upwards to remove them.

7. Clean or Replace the Seat

Once the seatback is removed, you can clean it thoroughly or replace it with a new one.

Reinstallation

To reinstall the seat, follow these steps in reverse order:

1. Insert the headrest posts (if removed).
2. Position the seatback and lower it into place.
3. Tighten the bolts.
4. Reconnect the seat belt buckle.
5. Place the seat cushion back on the hooks.
6. Raise the seatback.

Tips

  • Be careful not to overtighten the bolts.
  • If you have difficulty removing the seat cushion, use pliers to gently pry it loose.
  • If you encounter any electrical wires or connections, disconnect them before removing the seat.
