How do you remove back seats in a 1998 Ford Contour GL?

Answer 1

I have a 98 Contour GL and wanted to install a woofer in the trunk, so needed to run wires, finally after lots of searching found out how to remove the back seat.

The Bottom part of the seat, is in place simply by two plastic clamp things(sorry don't know the name of the part) i found that you just have to pull and fiddle around with them for it to release, they are toward the front and sides of the seat, the rear of the bottom seat cushion is more or less held in by the belts.

You will need a torx bit for removing the seat belts, and removing the seat back.

after removing seat belts and freeing the bottom cushion, that can be taken out, and you will then see two torx bolts on either side, remove those, and the seat back will remove somewhat easily. there is a torx bolt in the middle, that is for a metal support beam.

This isn't all that technical of a description, but hopefully this helps you out.
