i want to remove my seats to clean under them and all my carpet real good one weekend. does anybody know what size (I believe it's a torq's star bit) I need to remove my bolts holding my seat in? thanks

On the 3-door model, the Torx was only for the seat belt, and not the seat itself. These are the fold-down bench models, and 6 bolts were all it took.

Mine was a T-55.

I know how to remove the rear seats those take a don't quote me on this but I think a 5/16 for the back bolts an same for the front brackets on the back seats. but what I'm wondering is what I use to remove the front driver an passenger seat, those deff take torq head bits.



thanks man I'll run to the auto store an pick one up!

Raif, you're right - the back bracket of the FRONT seat is a T-55 Torx. I only removed the back seat, since the carpet was really bad (Tuff Stuff and a good brush got it 99% clean!).

New custom cut mats will take care of this in the future!

ok good to hear it, what did you use? I plan on doing mine this weekend so I can take everything out

I use an old bissil canister vac that was used for cleaning carpets. It's nothing more than a wet/dry vac. (You even had to hook a hose to the faucet for water and solution).

I spray a fine mist of water from a garden hose to wet the carpet and then spray it with carpet cleaning solution using a ZEP bottle (found at home depot). Scrub it in with a nylon brush, spritz it with a little more water and suck it out.

For ground-in dirt that won't come out, put the hose right to it and give it a shot for a second or two to flush out the dirt. Suck it out with the vac and hit it again with the hose. Keep repeating until the dirt is gone.
