I am trying to remove the rear seat bottom in my 1989 Accord DX 4-door. The bottom is held to the floor by two wire hold downs that seat in slots in the floor. For some reason, they won't pull out or release. There are no bolts in the floor pan. What is the procedure for removing the seat bottom? Any help here would be appreciated. I have been struggling with this for a few days now.:banghead:

OK, I finally figured this one out on my own. But this seat is not installed the way I expected or as I have seen in other cars. The seat bottom is bolted to the floor pan at the rear of the seat where the passenger seat belt comes out between the seat bottom and seat back. You have to fish between the seat bottom and seat back to find the bolt. Once the bolt is removed, you have to lift the rear of the seat bottom up and vertical to release the metal wire retainers that hold the front corners of the seat to the floor pan.

Remember, Hondas are not like other cars. In most cases, they far exceed anything with an American name and also exceed most Japanese name cars except for the Toyota line.

Honda's are not necessarily "exceptional", just different.
