I have a 2000 Ford Taurus and trying to remove th back seat to clean under it but do not know how?

Answer 1

Back seats are held in by 2 or 3 metal clips that run along the front edge of the seat as well as a few metal prongs that snug up under the back of the seat.

On the front edge of the seat, where your legs would go over, push down hard and push back towards the back of the car at the same time. Don't be afraid to climb in and put your body weight into the lean and push.

On rare occasions a few cars have been equiped with pull tabs to release the clips under the seat. Double check where the seat meets the carpet in the rear feet area and see if any small plastic tabs stick out, if so pull.

If a back seat hasn't been taken out for a while and the car has aged, it may be stuck some due to food, pop spilled, crayons in the way, etc.

Once removed and cleaned out underneath. Scoot the back hooks on the seat under the back of the seat first, then line up the metal clips with the holes and push down hard. You should hear a snap sound knowing its locked back in place. You will hear a snap for each metal clip.

Safety is No. 1 so ensure the seat is replaced properly. If you still have problems removing or replacing the seat, normally any detail shop, body shop, clean up lot tech at a dealership can help you re-install it. Those that know how to remove/replace it can do it in under a minute.

Answer 2

the bottom cusion is removed basically like it was described by the other two gentlemen or some have a plastic clip that you have to shove a screwdriver rearward to release the clip, But I think yours is the metal clip as described by othes that a kick with the knee at a slight upward angle on the front of the cusion should disloge.

The rear is held in by 4 screws accessed by pulling down the fold down seats and then pushing up on the whole cushion to release a few tabs from the back... older ones without the fold down have two scres hidden by the bottom seat cushion

Answer 3

It may be a little difficult but you must try to move the seat backwards by pushing hard or actually slamming it with your hand to knock it backwards. This will release it from the front catch and it should lift right out then.

Answer 4

take and push againts the base of the seat one side at a time. when you push at the same time be pulling up on it. then go to the other side and do the same.
