taking out back seat

ok.. i know its possible.. when i went to take out the back of the back seat, i noticed there was a small space to get to the screw.. its a t30 screw. there is about a inch in front of it and my t30 socket is just longer than there is space. how do u get to the screws to take them out?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

try taking out the lower plastic piece on both sides of the seat. That should free up some room. From reason i don't remember having this problem at all, but i can't remember which portions of the interior were together when i put the seatback in. Hope that helps, at least a little

If I recall to remove the rear seat back its just two nuts in the lower corners. I think it helps to remove the butt portion too, just two nuts in the front.

hmmm.. ive done all of that. there is no plastic int rim pannels in the car and the "butt" part of the seats are already out.. i know where the screws are, i just cant get to them.. if i ever do get them out im gonna replace the screws with bolts so i can at least get it out with a wrench.

Exactly. There is either a 10 or 13mm nut at the bottom corner of the seat nearest the outside of the car. Remove that and the seats pull off a rod that's welded to the middle hump. Super easy.
