Sliding rear seats

[Revsson]

I could be wrong, but I believe that the sliding rear seats came with the power package
and that only the 60/40 rear seats are the sliding ones. Also, as shown in post # 9
above, there would be another indication on the top of the seat next to the one for
folding down. Does that make sense?

so glad i am a member here-2 and a half years and i just found this out. went out in the garage yesterday and did mine,it actually works. now i have a nice flat surface for the girls to lie on-headed over to menards and bought an outside door mat 3'x4', and it covers most of it nicely until i find something better for back there. i know its me but it looks bigger back there now-made my day with this info. thank you

How difficult is it to fit a 100x76x70 cm table in the Yaris? Simple, really.

ROFL this thread is hilarious! Yeah, I first thought I was going to break something by pulling up the bridge because it was really sticky, but I watched too many youtube reviews of the yaris to not know how this feature worked. For example at 3:03 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm903I04-aA

I had enlarged it and printed it out, suspecting that I would be dealing with people who were Without A Clue. Boy, was I right.

They first denied that it was a problem (big hole in middle of cargo area). Then they suggested pushing the rear seats back to make the hole smaller. I pointed out that if one did that, the seats would no longer lie flat and that, UM, the owner's manual shows it looking just like the photo does.

Then they asked what year Yaris the car in the photo was. WHO CARES?!?!!? I commented that if they had changed the 2010 so as to create a gaping chasm in the cargo area, that was a Serious Problem and I would need to see someone in Sales about that.

There were, by this time FIVE guys standing around my car. I kept saying, "Look --it's this deckboard -- I think this carpeted part pulls away. I'm sure that's it. I just don't want to be the one to do it the first time. I want to make sure that's correct."

And they REFUSED to believe me! I am not kidding you. Honestly.

FINALLY I said, "Look, you guys clearly have no idea how this car works. Is there anyone here who DOES?"

"Maybe Allan. Yeah, he knows about the Yaris."

"Great. Get Allan, please."

I waited 5 min (while the 5 guys continued to poke Shark Bait). I tried pulling up the carpeted part of the deck board but b/c they were SO SURE that wasn't it, I became MORE, not less sure that I would break something.

Finally Allan shows up. And HE didn't know how to do it either!!!!! Finally he believed me and pulled on the deck board. The thing came apart and folded over. All the guys acted like he'd invented sliced bread. I went home.

All I can say is that I'm damn glad I have a good mechanic who, since he is more than willing to use Toyota parts, can work on my car w/out voiding the warranty. B/c I never want to have to set foot in that place again.

Anyway, THANK YOU, you guys. If it weren't for you I would have gone in there and bought their and assumed that there was no way to fill the chasm. YOU ROCK!!!

Does this feature come with the convenience package?

[Thai_Dang]

Yeah convenience package yaris has it, at least 2010 models in CA. I looked at one from Toyota Place in Garden Grove, it had just convenience package w/ the roll up windows and all, and I was able to pull over the bridge. But iono, best way to find out is to go to your dealer and check it out yourself.

but like alot of things there is a problem...... and no i'm not gonna say when i slide my seats forward the gas sticks or breaks get messed up but i find there is a hole behind the rear seats before the hinged floor board....

i know if you fold the seats flat you flip the carpet part over and you have a pick up bt i can't seem to find a way(as part of the car and included) to cover up that hole!! it wouldn't be too much of a problem but it already pissed me off by swallowing my loose tools and flopping them around under the floor with the spare tire....

basically my question is did i miss something? i checked owners manuel and it doesn't even talk or use the series of words "sliding rear seats"

i know its probably hard to understand what exactly i'm saying..... its 3am and i'm tired as shit!! lol. will post pictures in the morning hopefully to clear things up.

Thanks again

I have a 2010 also(06/20/10) and yes this topic is outlined in the manuel....look closer at the manuel.

I can work on your car with any parts I want and not void your warranty. I wonder how much he's been charging you to use "genuine toyota parts"

[frog13]

I'd still want to use OEM parts,just incase theres "fine print" somewhere in the paperwork and there is an issue:you wouldn't be liable for replacement/repair if OEM"s are used.
