Hello,

I am trying to remove the rear seat of a '94 GXE.

I have removed rear seats of others cars, including an 02 Maxima, but unlike other cars, on the 3rg gen's rear seats, there are no tabs or anything to pull to "unlock" the lower cushion.

The Nissan FSM only has a picture of what the seats look like when removed, but on the picture there are no indications for location of the release mechanism.

Help will be much appreciated.

just pull that b!tch straight up....there are two holes that two prongs go into that are on the bottom front of the seat......just pull it

 

hello, welcome to maxima.org

please read the stickies for some useful sites that will show you how-to (with pictures) for procedures like this

enjoy your stay


(ps - check my site)

 

Like triple said, you got to jerk the crap out of them to get them u shaped things out of the plastic holder clips...

 

stick a pry bar under the seat right where the hooks go... thatll probably be your best bet

 

check Craig's site. has directions with pics on how to remove the seats. but yeah, you have to pull like hell the first few times on the seat bottom, but it'll eventually get easier and easier.

 

I usually have a little easier time removing/installing if I use my knee to push the front of the seat back while pulling up. I have to push my seat back to install as it's slight preloaded and the clip won't line up with the receptical.

 

you remove the vertical part by pulling it up after you unscrewd the 2 bolts hidden by the armrest (there are 3 "clips" holding it on the top)

you then remove 2 bolts retaining the bottom seat (they are hidden at the extremities, where the vertical part was....then you pull up the front part

 

a big flat screw driver will help out too.

 

yeah don't forget those i've pulled my seats out at least a dozen times but i forgot about those last time i did it and almost dislocated a vertebrae <=== noob

 

I've been pulling like crazy, I guess that it's time to try the pry bar.

 

I had to use a 3 ft pry bar to get mine out the first time.
the plastic pieces never did let go of my seat, I bent the holes getting the seat out instead.

 

Eat your wheaties...

 

u ever had your back seat out????? its fun for the first time....

 

Many many many.....Times...

 

pry it up. those little bastards are VERY hard to release the first few times.

i tried the pry bar and it works. also try to get a buddy, and both of you pull up at those clips.
