"Okay, in this segment we're going to cover, removing the passenger seat. And it's fastened down with four bolts as well, same as the driver side seat. And we'll just follow the same procedure. Locate the seat all the way to its back fullest position, remove both, the front two bolts. Now we want to release the latch, slide the seat all the way forward. If your model seat flips forward, just go ahead and recline it forward, and then I'll gain access by going through the back door on this car. And like I showed in the previous clip, to get a better detailed view of these rear bolts, you can go to the previous clip on the driver side. And after we remove the rear bolts, following the same lifting precautions, just break the seat free. We just want to lift it up, gently manipulate it through the door, being careful not to scratch any of the door jams on the way out. Okay, now we've got the passenger seat removed, we're going to set it aside, and keep the four bolts that fasten it to the car right with the seats, so we keep that all together and organized. Our next segment is going to cover, removing the driver side rear, a backrest from the rear bench seat."
