How to remove back seat to install new speakers
I would like some help on removing my back seat of my 03 sxt. I can pop the bottom up but the back part I'm confused on how it comes off and don't want to break anything . I want to take them off to install new 6 x 9 speakers on the back dash. I have the speaker wiring harness and all already. Would someone be able to describe how it comes off?
There are four bolts holding the seatback in. Two of them also anchor the seat belts. Take them out and pull upwards on the seatback. The top part has hooks that go into slots, and it will be tight. Have to push upwards hard.

Also be careful removing the child seat latch covers. They are now getting old and fragile in most neons.

Other than that, this process is pretty straightforward.... Once you get the torx bolts removed.

If you have access to an air compressor and an impact gun, the torx bolts will come out quickly. Or, lacking air power, a hand impact driver could work, just use a 5lb mallet to smack the impact driver. Iirc, the torx bolts are T50. If you buy a set of torx bits, try to get the hardened ones, those won't break as easily. That's the only type i buy now from my dealer, as the regular bits break too easily.
