Re: How do you remove the back seat cushion... (Vette_Crazy)
On my 92, don't know if yours are the same.....
Remove the back seat cushion first.
Grab the side of the cushion down about 6" from the top of the seat. Kinda of roll it in toward the center of the car. You should be able to see a metal clip where the wire frame of the seat back clips. Push the seat back toward the center of the car to unhook. There is another wire frame/clip arrangement about toward the bottom 6" - 8" above the seat cushion. Do the same thing there. With the outboard side loose you can gently pull the cushion forward and toward the outside of the car.
The bottom cushion has one wire clip in the the front. It's in the center under the plastic shell.
It actually takes longer to read this than do it after you've done it a few times.

Those instructions work great unless you have sport seats. If you have the adjustable sides on your seat its a little bit more tricky.

Getting them off was easier than putting them back on.
I used a long flat bar with a notch in it to push the seatback into the clip..
good luck

If you have the sport seats (adjustable side bolster), you have to cut the metal hog rings in between the bolster and the seat back. Run your finger in the seam and you will find them buried in there. There can be as many as 6 rings from top to bottom. Once these rings are cut, you fold the leather bolster cover outward away from the seat which will enable you to remove the seat back and foam. Also, you will need new hog rings and a hog ring plier to re-install the seat back.

Nice looking car but why did you install a basket ball hoop in your hood? :lol:
