Does anyone know how to remove the rear seats ( so as to remove the parcel shelf for speaker and grille replacement) ?

I have taken the two bolts out, but theres two nylon looking clips that are holding it in and I cannot work out how to release them... I can see on one of them (which I am thinking might be in backwards) a little tab at the back of it... I am thinking this is supposed to be pushed (but I think the bracket is backwards as this is at the back behind the steel loop from the seat frame.

Any one offer any advice?

Thanks

Conrad

I'm so glad someone else had problems with getting the rear seats up.

After about 40 minutes of swearing I found out that basically you grab the seat really good just near the nylon thingy and pull straight up towards the roof. And pull HARD....

The other way of doing it (and it's a bit more controlled !!!) is to get a loooong screwdriver in next to the nylon thingy and leaver the seat up.

Basically all it is and a thick loop of wire on the seat that is pressed into the nylon thingy that mounts into the floor. And it's a damn tight fit.

Guys, if you search the site, you'll find th answer (I know cause I asked the same thing)

You just get a big mutha of a screw driver - stick it between the bottom of the seat and the chassis - then heave it !!!

I've done this now 8-9 times - works every time - no damage done.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
