How do I remove the bottom half of the backseat on my 18? I'd just assume to take it out myself for the fuel pump recall. Thanks.

 

The bottom cushion should just come straight off when u pull it up. It's only held by clips. Ur worried something's going to get damaged too? Me too!

That's why I won't bother with this thing unless they force me to. Plus they're recalling cars from 2013 and those pumps have been running fine since then and I'll probably won't have this car anymore when it fails.

 

I know, I'm so OCD when it comes to having my car serviced. I hate to have to have things taken apart unless it's necessary. My better half refuses to even drive it since I'm so picky. She insists that there's therapy for being so picky but, I just go into selective hearing mode.

 

Oh I almost died when a rock cracked my windshield and having to replace it! Good thing this dealer hire an outside contractor to do their glass repair and this guy is good, I gotta hand it to him, superb job with no marks anywhere.

The other dealer managed to scratch my seat heater button and the aluminum trim next to it when they replaced my radio last time. Yea it might not matter to them or others but I'm the one paying top bucks for this car.

 

I'm out of town now, but I can post the instruction from the lexus factory manual on Tuesday.

The rear seat removal is easy.
Grab the seat bottom about a foot from the front middle on left side and yank it up.
Then repeat the same a foot from the middle on the right side.

Just two clips hold the front of the seat bottom in place.

Then lift up and slide off the seat bottom.

Then on the bottom of the backrest there are about 4-6 bolts at the bottom near the seatbelts. Remove those bolts.

Then you can lift up the entire rear seat backrest.

 

Thanks P! I found the instructions in one of your older posts. I figured if anyone knew it would be you.
