Back Seat

Hey guys, how do you remove a back seat on a 1984 diplomat? Is there any tutorials on it?

Look for August 14, 2015 entry in this thread:
1987 Chyrsler 5th Avenue - Exterior Trim

Alright!

In my fifth avenue, you have to take out all the interior trim above the back seat.
Then remove the top half of the back seat.
Remove more trim.
Then the bottom seat.

The key to the bottom seat is: know there is rust and it will resist removal
and push it up and back at a 45 degree angle.. its not a back and up 90 degree movement

Let me know if you need a picture from the manual.

I should be good, thanks for the info. I looked at it with wonder yesterday and figured I would ask.

I spent an afternoon with a margarita looking at mine in wonder. Just made me sleepy, but a lot less frustrated with it since it was being so stubborn coming out.

Nice. Hopefully mine isn't to bad. My front seats have some serious rust issues at least hoping the backseat is at least not as bad.

The seat padding makes it a bit of a pain.
If you get a buddy on the other side then it's a lot easier. Push both sides together while lifting slightly up and you'll feel it clear the hooks.

That may help. I will see if my friend wants to touch a running dodge for the first time
