Question Help getting the Back seat out plz!

I currently am working on getting my system all setup in my 01' Coupe. I have all of the wiring in place and the system is all hooked up and working. I took out the back deck and the side panals in the back. I mounted the amp on the back of the fold down seat use a 1/2" thick piece of plywood. Now I need to figure out a way to run the wiring to the amp so that you cant see any of it. How do you get bottom part of the back seat out? And I also dont know how to get the back seat cover reconnected? I am getting a digital camara soon and I will post of pictures.

there's a bolt and some retainer clips that hold the bottom part in...the bolt is right near the middle (a little closer to the left side if my memory serves me correctly...) ...just stick your fingers in the crack between the back and bottom parts of the back seat to find it...use a 10mm socket and a ratchet with an extension to remove it...it's a completely unnecessary bolt, so i wouldn't even bother putting it back in if i were you...after the bolt is removed, just pull up on the seat to remove it...

as for reconnecting the seat cover...it's kinda hard to describe...i'll try to draw something up in Paint or something real quick...so hang tight, i'll BRB...

alright, here's the best i got...the pics show the seats as if they are folded down...i'll try to give you the descriptions first...

in the first pic, that's the seat and the flap that covers the foam, etc...in the "magnified" area, you can see that at the edge of that flap is a thin strip of plastic (inside the cloth) that is kinda "hinged"...


in the second pic, you'll see in the "magnified" area that on the seat there is a groove-like piece that runs the width of the seat...take that little flap described in pic 1 and fold it under and put in the little groove as shown in pic 2...then just zipper your seat up if it's not already zippered...


that's how my 'Vic's seats are, anyway...hope this helps...good luck!

It's a piece of black plastic, it's a fold under retainer. Just roll it out holding between your thumb and forefinger.

I was able to get the bottom part of the seat out. I never would have found that hidden 10mm bolt, thanks man. I am gonna get up tomarrow and continue working on it and hopefully get it all done by tomarrow. It's lookin great so far though...

I will take some pictures of it soon and post them. The great thing about this setup is that all of the wires are hidden. If you want to take the box out, all of have to do is disconnect the speaker wire.
