If it's anything like a B11 or B13 (I've had both) check for some pulltabs near the bottom and then pull the seat upwards.

hmmm...i'll try that, i haven't got to the back yet, since the bolts are so rusted that i need a torch to remove em. oh well...I'll have try this next weekend.

It's unbelievable you peoples can take your rear seats out. Do you gyus know how to take the front ones out atleast.
This is what you do get in the back and grab in the bottom of the seat and pull upwards.
The seat is in two parts a bottom piece and a back piece.

The bottom piece is connect to the car with two metal hooks formed in a u. Grab at the lower bottom of the left side at pull upwards with all your force and the at your right once you get both hooks out you then pull it towards th front.

For the back side once you take the bottom out you'll notice 2 or 4 bolts. Get a 10 or 12mm socket and get them out. Once you have them out grab the seat in the bottom and pull up. If you look at where your speakers are right in front of them is a tap where a hook slides in it. Overall there's three hooks at the top of the rear seat.

During the wither i took all of my seats out the center consol, plastic trim pieces and the carpet and slap some asphalt spray which i got from canadien tire and the metal floor and the i put all of my interior back in.

i hope this helps you guys

That's a much better description than I wrote.

While I've never had a B12 it sounds like the rear seats are all pretty much the same. I pull the bottom part out sometimes when cleaning the car - you wouldn't believe the amount of junk that falls back there.

Im sorry that Im still new to the interior trim department. I dunno if its forgivable for me not to know but how do you take the front seats out....

There is four bolts that attach the seat to the floor board. You can get to them easier by adjusting the seat forward or backwards as needed.

Hey does that mean that I can take the 2 seats front seats out and swap them? My drivers seat cushion is in rough shape!

Also does anyone know if it is possible to hinged the rear seat to make it fold down? Since I take the Sentra on lots of Kayaking/skiing trips i generally carry long cargo and a buddy. If the seat could fold down the trips would be a lot more comfortable...

That's my problem too. I just want the seatback to be easily removable so that I can put two mountainbikes and two people in the car at the same time. Anyone else find it funny that my bike is worth 56% of the value of my car??

Either thats an intense bike or your B12 needs some help...

RiceBox · May 23rd, 2002, 07:09 PM

Paid $1400 for the bike two years ago and $2500 for the car a year and a half ago.

sentrastud · May 23rd, 2002, 11:22 PM

Yeha my Sentras worth about that too. My bike ont he other hand is worth about half of that. I got my bike for 650 a year ago. You got one intense bike!
