Could it be this easy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Qmobile · 06-01-2011, 02:27 AM

Is all that holds the back seat is a few in the back(trunk side) and on the front(engine side)? I've been thinkin about removing it for sometime now...not only for the lil weight savings but also gives me a excuse to not drive more than 1 passenger

SO could it really b THAT simple just take out a few bolts and ba-da-bing ba-da-boom?

matthewai · 06-01-2011, 03:19 AM

Qmobile · 06-01-2011, 03:21 AM

I did.....that's where I got the torqx bolts....but mine looks like just regular bolts so idk

Klink10 · 06-01-2011, 08:10 AM

They may have changed the bolts for your year. Mine had torx (07) and that was all that was it. Mine was 60/40 don't know if that makes a difference (seat type) as far as bolts are concerned. Hardest part was doing it (one man) and lifting them out without scratching or dinging anything. I do like how it looks today and I've had several dealer salespersons tell me that they would have no problem getting rid of the car for me if I wanted to trade (of course).

Qmobile · 06-01-2011, 01:28 PM

I have the 60/40 split 2, maybe it's just a year to year thing.

Altitude · 06-01-2011, 01:38 PM

I've got the 60/40, but I think the bolt pattern is the same for the bench seat too. If I recall correctly there are 4 bolts on the back of the seat(s) and four on the front.

It's not hard to get the rear seat(s) out, just a bit awkward with the 60/40 split.

why? · 06-02-2011, 11:50 AM

yup, it is that easy. The car is much better without it.

eTiMaGo · 06-02-2011, 12:51 PM

60/40 is a bit trickier than the bench seats, but yeah, get the appropriate socket and you'll be a happy camper. If you never plan to put them back in, someone here might want to buy the seats off you to upgrade form the regular bench seats...

Qmobile · 06-03-2011, 08:08 AM

Outside of a reinstall, NEVER. LOL. Damn things.

Hmmm, Ohio not too far away. Seat swap????

Qmobile · 06-03-2011, 09:08 AM

hmmm fold flat?

WeeYari · 06-03-2011, 09:12 AM

Rear bench dosen't exactly fold flat. They leave a slight ridge between truck cover and seat back, as well as tip upward at approx 5 degrees.

Qmobile · 06-03-2011, 09:14 AM

ah so bout the same as now pretty much. dose it still slide like mine now?

WeeYari · 06-03-2011, 09:16 AM
