How to remove rear 2008 seat?

there are two "eye hooks" on the front left and front right of the seat.

pull up and they will unclick.. then there are little hooks in the back. keep pulling the front up, you'll see how the back uhooks.

 

Where did you get your seat cover? Nice looking? How's the quality?

 

yeah man...those are nice.....we have been looking for some but because of the way the seats are upholstered you cant use standard seat covers. you know what i mean? the back is covered all the way down and theres no place to pull that tab through to connect the hooks.

 

Naptown Prius.. Where did you get the floor mats??, I reallly like the rear one that covers the entire floor area.. very nice,

 

Front Seat Back Has Shield/Flap That Unhooks/Hooks

Hi Tasker,

If you're talking about the front seat backs, they do not permanently go all the way down. The bottom of the front seat backs is a shield or flap that has a straight plastic hooking bar that hooks onto (and unhooks from) the upholstery wire/springs underneath the seat.

What you do is go under the seat and unhook that shield/flap; then tuck in and pull through the seat bottom covers tab that you seem to be talking about; then you re-hook that front seat back shield/flap onto the upholstery wire/springs underneath the seat.

EDIT: WARNING - Beware of sharp metal underneath the seats. You should be careful and wear gloves if you can.

 

thanks boo...i sure didnt know that....the ones we bought were nice and went well with the 2 tone grey in the car. we'll check it out.

 

To remove the back seat do I have to remove any bolts or do it just come out by releasing the clips. I too am installing seat covers on my 2008 Prius.

 

I used a flat bar between the seat bottom and the chassis lip, to the inside of the clips, slipped in about 6" it gave much better leverage, after 7 years those clips were not coming loose just by using my fingers under the seat.
