is there a quick way to remove the rear seats?

 

takes like 5 mins. remove the clips that clip onto the back of the seat that is attached to the cargos carpet (just pull the carpet on they will come out). after that just use a 14mm socket to take off the bolts holding the seats down. easy as that

 

After you got them out did you weigh them?

 

the seat come straight out with the bolts in the boot, also be sure to undo the seat belt locks that are located their, be sure to fasten them up again !!!!

why would you wanna weigh them ?

 

if you are trying to cut the weight of your car down, it's nice to know the exact amount...

i personally wouldn't remove them...looks much cleaner folded down...unless the OP is running a full cage, i see no point...if its for 1/4 mile times 100lbs knocks .1 off your time...theoretically...the seats might weigh 30lbs if he's lucky...

reason behind this plz?

 

I'm lazy and don't want to take them out if they only weigh in at 25-30lbs. But if they weight alot more than that, then I don't mind going through the trouble.

 

The rear seats weight between 60 - 70 pounds. This includes the seat rest along with both back rest and the head rests.
You can include another 8 pounds for removing ALL rear seat belts along with ALL the bolts.
If you are looking at removing the spare tire including the jack and tools you are looking at about 15 - 20 pounds.

 

wel according to my trusty scale

small rear seat weighs 12.8kg = 28.2lb
larger rear seat weighs 17.3kg = 38.2lb

not bad for a 5min job an better fuel consumption...

 

66.4 lbs or 31.1 kgs
not bad

 

nice, i just took out my rear seat, amp and sub, and the total weight removed is 113.6 pounds. can't wait to see what it does to my mileage.

Thanks George, for the tips.

 

wow i never thought about how heavy the rear seats are in this car. i wouldn't remove mine for daily driving, but if it's for a track event, then maybe.
