I tried to search but nothing came up. I guess I'm 1st person to ask that question.

I'm going to remove my cloth seat to leather seat for upgrade look. I know how to do that backseat so no need to explain about that.

Also, I will get other door panel with leather. What is best tool that can be remove without damage it? If I accident broken tab inside door. Can you give me link what part I need buy for just a case?

Thanks,
palsut

Rear bench pulls out pretty easily by some tabs. Rear seat backing is bolted onto the frame by 4 bolts (10mm and 18mm), undo those and lift it up and out of the car.

I think that's what 98greenGT says. I removed that rear seats from April 2008 for trying remove rear speaker deck and 3rd brake light for tint my window. It has been while. I swear it is 2 bolts on backseat?

I bet I will see some nasty (hard to reach) spot under seat. I will plan clean that out when I remove that seats.

Its 4 on the backseat Palsut .. 2 holding the seatbelts to the frame as well as the seat, and 2 other ones for fun .. regarding the door panel question :

I have a smaller sized flathead screwdriver that i use to pry off my panels .. i have the tweeter on the door so i pop that off, than its best to start from the top taking it off . and the bottom putting it back on .. there are just pins that snap into some holes that come out with minor force .. dont break them!!!

Palsut, you'll probobly have to unbolt the bottom of your seatbelt first, where it attaches to your seat.

Then unbolt the 4 bolts in each seat and unplug the harness underneath for power and everything if you have it.

Then recline the seat all the way back. Then pulling on the headrest pull towards the front of the car so the whole seat pivots at the front and goes up towards the roof. You'll hear it pop and you should be able to lift up and wiggle it out.

Then get it out the door.

Front seats are held in by 2 bolts each. They are at the front of the frame. The rear part of the front seats are simply a pin that slides out of a slot after the front part of the seat frame is unbolted..... Easy stuff.

Rear seats have a release right below the crotch area on each side. Pop those loose and pull the seating cushion out. Not sure about the rear seat back... I would imagine it's 2-4 bolts... Prolly gonna need a Torx adapter for your ratchet.... That's just a guess, I've never removed a rear seat back.

Thank for tip.

I'm kind want remove it out this week but I'm working lol. I plan remove pass seat only so I can drive to this guy's area this Sunday to put pass seat (not install.. just put it look like that lol) then install back seat and beach seat. Then put driver seat on my backseat. 4 doors panels on my trunk which it should be fit.

Mostly, I'm worry about door panels. I know they are easy break. I hope this guy didn't break it when he will remove that door panels. I already told him be careful. Pull it up first when you removed 2 plastic tabs.

for backseat write-up

beach seat (easy as hell) just pull it up that it will snap it off where 2 holes on frame.



the back seat actually have 2 black bolts then lift it up from 3 tabs then pull it out. Maybe GT/GTP might have 4 bolts since my car is SE model. We might have different tool or whatever.

Looks like your cars changed seasons, "Summer car" is now "Winter car", and vice versa.

I will do when I get them done.

Hercan: Well, I have seen some gp 04+ seat. Some of them are torn and bad. I actually like black seat from Ed but again it is torn. Anyway, I'm just looking same color seat should match that door. Nothing wrong with standard seat. They are feel good to sit since I own that car in 2004.

lol my summer car is not driving in snow. You can see clearly it is sitting there.
