f50 rear seat removal

i tried searching and could not come up with anything.... im trying to fix the rear shade on my 2002 q45. has the rear reclining seat and i cant figure out how to get the back cushion out. the seat bottom was no problem. if anyone has any info on how to properly do this i would appreciate it

whoa whoa whoa. you have the slab AND a f50? bowlin!

sorry, i have no helpful advice.

The first time I removed it, it took me a while to figure it out.  First take off the headrest.  There is a button on the side of one of the holes that the headrest goes in.  You want to hold on that.  Remove the lower portion, hold on that button on the top cushion and it should come off.  Its been 3-4 years since I last removed it so I may be missing a detail or two but that should do it.

I have the 02 sport F50 and my rear seats dont recline...good luck!

Since you have recline might be completely different or similar.   I assuming since it's recline the seats are seperate?

i don't have recline either but mine there were 2 10mm bolts behind the armrest area.   pull the armrest down and there is a false back wall that pulls off.   It is just velcro stuck on and the wire connector for the window shade controls and the 10mm are exposed after that.   Then I think there were 10mm bolts at bottom corners of the back seat.  Then it was simple pull up and out.

please correct me if i misunderstood. but the headrest button is what attaches the seat to the rear firewall?

yes the two seats are separate. i was messing around with the seat and figured out the false wall that you mentioned. happened by accident because of the velcro attached to it. i had one of these looks after it came off :coolugh:

i was able to get the cushions, armrest, and center cushion out.


one other thing is the center headrest, couldnt figure that one out either... :pat:

I pulled all mine out using the Factory Service Manual. google it and you will find it pretty much anywhere
