Rear Split Folding Seat Back Replacement

Rear Split Folding Seat Back Replacement

Removal Procedure




1. On the SW2 with rear headrests, remove the headrests. Refer to Head Restraint Replacement (SL2/SC2/SW2) (Service and Repair).
2. Release the seat back latch and tilt the seat forward.
3. Disengage the cargo floor carpet from the seat back.

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 this easyload bracket outward to remove the rear seat back. It is important not to use excessive force to pry on the bracket or 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 large flat-bladed screwdriver, gently pry the outer seat back easyload bracket outboard just enough for the seat back pin to disengage from the easyload bracket.
5. Lift the seat back up and remove it from the vehicle.

Installation Procedure

1. Guide the seat back assembly onto the center pivot pin.
2. Align the outer pivot pin with the lead in ramp on the easyload bracket.
3. Push downward on the seat back to engage the pin into position.
4. Engage the cargo floor carpet with the seat back.
5. Raise the seat back and secure the seat back latch.
6. Install the rear headrests. Refer to Head Restraint Replacement (SL2/SC2/SW2) (Service and Repair).
