    Anyone know the measurements of a 2door bench seat? I need to figure out if it will fit in my Kia Soul that Im driving 16hr to pick up TOMORROW! Yeah, advance planning is not my strong suit.

    I remember pulling screws out from under the side covers but i don't remember how i done the center section. Maybe someone else would know. I'm at work so i can't go look at it.

    I think they was a spring clip that has to be removed after you remove the trim cover. Then pry the back of the seat off the pivot

    Remove the plastic hinge covers on the sides and pull the pins. Then pull the pins in the middle between the seat backs (under the little flap of vinyl).
