Question Remove or access underneath back seat?

Anyone know how to get the back seat out... or at least get the back seat into a position where I can access underneath it?

I know anything with bolts will come out... just would be helpful to hear it from someone who's done it before. I get things done, but usually end up taking out way too many unrelated screws and bolts.

Note: If you have a tendency to go around with the back seats folded down, it is quite possible for things to slide around and slip UNDER the back seat. This can be a problem if you happen to have been grocery shopping and things like....say... fruit? <ahem> find their way UNDERNEATH the back seat.

I can get my hand underneath, but not far enough...

I had a large box in the back so the cargo net wasn't in place... grrr

Anyone?

Thanks!

You can reach underneath the back seat by taking out the rear storage bins. They are held in place by 3 10mm bolts. Then you don't have to take out the whole seat.

Very useful knowledge! I was wondering how to get that storage bin loose. Both of the plastic lids on mine have broken off. Does anyone know where to get a replacement?
