There are two plastic square covers that you pop up with a small screw driver and the cover lifts and rotates to expose the bolts. 2 on the front part of the seat, and 2 in rear

I can't fit anything into the rear holes though. I have so much room for my tools on the passenger side but no room on the driver side.

They are on the very back of the seat frame, just like the passenger side. Both sides should be exactly the same...maybe just take the rear seat out to have more room?

It's a 2 door right? U need to fold the seat all the way forward (like u were letting someone in the back seat) at that point u can "roll" the entire seat upwards from the back to gain access to the rear bolts.

I figured this out by accident on my buddies 2 door when painting his tub

Once we did this once I could figure out how to do it again. It should roll forward to give u access.... I just played with it till it moved (I know that don't sound too good lol) If it's seized u need to have the dealer fix it if u still have a warranty cuz I can't think of another way to get the bolts out.


The drivers seat was definitely a lot harder to get to roll forward. Passengers seat went right away. The drivers seat must have an extra safety latch.... Do what I said in my first post.... Get in the back seat and use ur feet against the metal track.... That's how I got it
