Rear Split Folding Seat Back Replacement (Wagon)



Rear Split Folding Seat Back Replacement (Wagon)

Removal Procedure

Important: The rear seat back attachments have an Easyload outer bracket that allows the rear seat back to snap into position upon installation. It is necessary to gently pry the Easyload bracket outward to remove the rear seat back. It is important not use excessive force to pry on the bracket or the bracket may become damaged. Move the bracket only enough to lift the seat back from the vehicle. If the bracket has been moved outward too much, gently reposition the bracket to ensure proper retention of the rear seat back to the bracket.

4. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver gently pry the outer seat bracket retainer inward while pulling upward on the seat back, to disengage the outer bracket from the pivot pin.
