WarNox 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 you pretty much just pull them. start with the top of the vertical part first. will you then drill a hole through the metal or are you hoping that there is a hole? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 Hold on... you have a 320i right? If so I would think your battery is in the rear just like mine so you shouldn't even need to go through the rear seats. Are you trying to run RCA cables? Anyway, to remove the rear seats, give the top bit (the bit your back rests on) a yank towards the front of the car. Do this at 2 points: at the top of the seat right below each headrest. For the bottom cushion, same thing, reach under the seats directly behind the front seats. Yank them upwards. Done! you pretty much just pull them. start with the top of the vertical part first. will you then drill a hole through the metal or are you hoping that there is a hole? There will be a hole on the passenger side. It's covered with a rubber piece that has little holes, you can even punch new holes out if you require. It's used by the factory to run OEM wiring.

I used a long screwdriver for leverage for the back uprights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I used a long screwdriver for leverage for the back uprights. Woaa... were your seats that tight? Mine's a 92, the interior is pretty beat up, so I just yank away at everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
