Default How do you remove the back seat?

I would like to remove the back seat and was curious if there is a trick to popping the lower seat cushion in the back seat.

I would assume that would need to be removed first and then the back rest would be held in by bolts... Correct???

Pull upwards on the front of each seat and remove seat, remove screw ( bolt) with allen key on both sides center of each bottom of seat back ,
then lift up to release hooks at top of back . Hope this help Bernie

Sherber...I thnk that is for a 2007 and later...

For the X100 '96-'06 it is easy, but different:

1. Remove the rear seat bottom:
-Pull off the vinyl stud caps at the lower front of the seat cushions
-Remove the two 10mm nuts at the lower front of the seat cushions
-Undo the two snaps over the rear center seat belt latch ‘gloves’
-Lift up the front of the seat cushion while carefully easing the center seatbelt latches through the leather ‘glove’ while pulling the bottom cushion free. Do this gently to avoid tearing the fabric.

2. Remove the rear seat back.
-Remove the two Phillips screws at each shoulder belt guide and let the shoulder belt glides drop in front of the rear cushion.
-Remove the two Phillips screws at the under-cushion brackets.
-Lift out the rear cushion.
-Be careful, the metal panel behind the seat back is sharp at the top edge and can cut you.

Thank you Again, I did not realize that the rubber pieces I saw, were actually Covers... Removed them and then removed the 10 mm washer nut,,, lifted the seat out VERY EASY...
