has anyone removed their back seats? I never use them and hate when people sit back there. I want to remove them, but make it look really clean and nice. has anyone done this and have some pics?

 

They're pretty easy to remove; just a few star bolts. You will need to cut the seat belt plastic retainers to get the seatbelt out. With them removed, they don't look bad at all. You'll save around 17 pounds.

 

Yep easy to do.
You do want to remove the seats and the seatbelt hardware, I think it looks best like that.
You don,t have to cut anything up, at least I did not on my 94, just take the 2 screws out of the seatback that holds the belt guide and leave them on the belts, then remove the belts.
This way if you ever want to reinstall em you can.

 

Kind of hard to see into the back, but you get the general idea:

Interior shot

Each seat bottom is held in by a single hex-head bolt. When you pull the seat bottom out, there will be a bare spot in the carpet, about 8" x 2" with the sheet metal showing through. I just leave the floor mats over that. The back is held in by a single Torx screw on the bottom/side of the seatback, through a tab attached to the side sheet metal.

I would also say to remove the belt completely... if you do that, you can get the weight savings up closer to 30#. When you pull the belts out of the floor, you need a T47 socket, but a T50 will work if you tap it in with a hammer. Get some small plastic "body plugs" to fill the holes with. The harness retractor is under the side plastic covers, and held in with a (I think) single nut. I made small plastic filler pieces to cover up the holes where the harness comes through the plastic panels.

not a great pic but a small idea....i havent made in fil cover and still leave the backseat pads in if neone needs to ride back there...it makes the rear look alot cleaner and "smooth flowing"

 

How did you make that plastic piece, and would you maybe be willing to make and sell me a set?? Pretty please???

 

I would be interested in knowing how you make those as well, since my backseat aint never goin back in.

 

If you seats are Charcoal on Gray in color, would you be interested in selling me the bottom cusions of your back seat??

 

Sorry man.
I have one of the very few 94 Zs with leather interior.
Not that I would not sell em to ya but I am guessing you have cloth.

 

Yes indeed, I have cloth. Thanks for replying anyway.

 

Get a thin sheet of fairly flexible plastic. Trace the opening on the plastic and cut the plasitc about 1/2" larger than the opening on each edge. Paint it with Eastwood Company "graphite" vinyl spray paint. Tape or glue the filler piece to the inside of the plastic cover.

I made my first set with carboard.... and it looked just as good.

 

Coming from you I would have expected something a lot more technical, not just taking a piece of plastic, trimming it, painting it, and glueing it on............
