    There are 2 rings under the seats, pull them and the bottom comes off. After removing the botom of the seat there are 2 small nuts that hold the seat back into place at the bottom. After removing the 2 nuts the seat back simply lifts up and out.

    be carefull not pull on the rings too hard or you will break em i did like 3 times, it doesnt take much, the back seat has hooks on it so thats why you lift it up.
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    yeah since I have an 03 Ive notices some small things that people talk about that I do or dont have. Makes things frustrating sometimes.

    Yeah, like the orfice tube location for the a/c. on a 97, it's right below the master cylinder, easy to get to and starting with the 98's, it's further back towards the firewall. Heard it was a little tedious to get at.
