Rear seat problems

Couldn't find anything on here about anyone having issues with their rear seats. Either way, mine are loose almost as if they were just bolted in by the previous owner. Then the guy at the chevy dealership had the audacity to tell me MY car doesn't have rear seats.

If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!

If he said you don't have them, obviously they loosened up enough to fall out.

Can you get either of your back doors to open?

They left the rear seats out of some of the 2009s when they were built. Maybe they just tossed yours in without tightening them up good.

Evidently the guy at the dealership removed the seats. He told you they were gone. I bet he put them in HIS Corvette. Your loss, his gain.

Plasti dip is like duct tape, so many uses. I like to spray it on my rotors to make them match the tires.

The rear seat bolts are under the car, just above the frame rail and the center drive shaft (prop tube to many). Make sure you use blue thread locker. Mine was made with the rear seat delete option. Never understood why GM would charge to leave somenting off the car.
