How do I remove the rear seat back rest on an '87 GN ? Do I have to remove the seat belts first ?

SignUp Now!Thank you for your reply but I am talking about the rear seat back rest removal not the front seat headrests.You have to get a thin piece of metal in the slot where the head rest slides into. The metal slides in and pushes a center clip from holding the head rest bar. The bar has a circle in the middle and a tab sticks through it. You are pushing that metal tab out of the way.

Do I have to remove the seat belt bolts?Sorry I read back rest I immediately thought of the head rest. IMO back rest is easier so remove.

^or just leave that heavy ass thing out.
"You need to take the seat bottom out first, from there, it's pretty obvious what you need to do." Well the seat bottom IS out and nothing seems obvious to me. More details please....You need to take the seat bottom out first, from there, it's pretty obvious what you need to do.
It can be a bit of a bugger, but once you've done it, you won't have a problem doing it again.
If you need to take the rubber backed jute trunk/seat insulator out, get ready for it to crumble to pieces.......
G Body Parts sells a really decent replacement. 50 bucks or so....
There are 3 "clips" on the top - one in the center and 1 each side of the center, lift up on the back after you remove the seat belts.there are four big torque bolts on the bottom of the rear back like earl said t 40 or 45 maybe bigger those hold the bottom in .. take those out and then push it in and up to come out ... the four seat belt bolts hold it in on bottom and I think there is a clip similar to the one on the bottom on upper up top
Thank you for an clear and intelligent reply.. I will try your advice. Thank You !There are 3 "clips" on the top - one in the center and 1 each side of the center, lift up on the back after you remove the seat belts.
