Nice. Simple and straight forward. I thought it would be more complicated. I need to replace the rear wall blanket as the high mount stop light assembly developed a seal leak and ruined it.. Thanks.
Good video. I just bought the same year/make/model truck as you. When rotating the rear seat bottom up, to give more floor space, the seat won't stay up if a little downward pressure is added to the seat or if the truck goes over bumps. The locking hinge is on the passenger side. I can see a thin bar going up and down as I pull and release the strap. Any idea what the typical problem is, how to replace the locking hinge and where to get something like that? Looks like there's a Philips screw in the center of the locking hinge, I assume where the spring is. Thanks.
I just watched a video on how to modify the seat to come down when lifting the bottom of seat. It showed what to short on the back but it didn’t show how to remove the seat to do the mod. Great job on the quality of your video. No bs just a clear direction on how it is done. Thanks

great viedeo got me headed in the right direction but my 05 has tethers in both corners and the center. the tether on the right is under one of the bracket nuts that you are removing anyway but the one on the drivers side is stand alone so the nut has to come off. So 6 nuts total not 5 .
Thanks for this. I missed the center nut. Fun fact. The eyelet is easier to remove if you grab it in the center with pliers and wiggle. It gets caught on the threads.
I recently got a 2004 GMC extended cab, but having trouble with the back rest coming out. SO....just lift., which I was hoping for! The previous owner seemed to have lost the center cables, no worries there! Thank you!
well what are those 3 brackets there behind the seat that just sit there and hold strap loops that stick up above the back of the seat but do nothing at all? can you just remove those?
Thanks for the straightforward video explanation. We just got a 2007 at auction and the last owner smoked. Shampooing it has done wonders but hubs couldn't figure out how to get to the backside of the backseat. Thanks again!
@@TheSundaeDrive I have an 02 Silverado 1500 extended cab. I believe I have to do this to remove the center seatbelt am I correct.. I am sending it to a firefighter in another state who has a 01 GMC Sierra 2500...
The hooks on the back of the seats rattle, the rear door panels on the extended cab rattle. The door locks rattles. The steering column rattles. The ashtray rattles. The lever to open the center console rattles. I feel like this thing was designed by a kid with downsyndrome in the middle of downing vodka bottles
Awesome! Thank you for sharing; I think I can; I think I can, I think I can remove my backseat - thanks to your video presentation; I noticed the bolts underneath my backseat, but I wasn't sure how the seat-back would detach from the cab. I am trying to resolve my water in-flowing into my cab problem. I already removed the third brake light and did my best to remove and remake a gasket; however, I also need to replace the pressure vents. If interested, please visit my channel - UC6F19-bd_3GGCrEgfV6hqng - and look at the playlist titled My GMC Sierra Humidity or Water Leak offer guidance. Thank you very much
@@TheSundaeDrive Thanks to your video, I removed the backseat bench - Yippee Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! I used a 18mm socket with my 1/2 inch ratchet wrench to remove the anchor-nuts; I also had to remove the wheel jack-bracket, so I could lift up the carpet and carpet insulation. I used bungee cords to hold up the carpet/insulation, placed the space heater in attempt to dry the carpet insulation and the rubber backed carpet. I am regretting that I may have to remove the carpet, but that requires removing a lot more interior parts. I have a blue tarp covering the truck. Now I am trying to determine how best to remove the carpet insulation on the cab's back wall; seat-belt plastic cover; etc in a effort to get to the air pressure vents [I believe I need to replace]; I am also suspicious that water may be leaking through the weather stripping around the rear window; I will proceed with caution because I cannot afford to break something in the process of troubleshooting.
Any idea if to install Rough Country seat covers on a 2007 Silverado crew, is removing the rear seats required? I installed everything else, but the rear vertical backs have those damn hooks...... :( Thanks!
It is very dangerous to have a folding truck. I know they only did a short production and the decided that due to the tendency to fold while driving and injure inhabitants to cease production and recall all units produced 😛 just messing, the folding "seats" may not fold if you have something jammed underneath behind them or the strap may be broken
The strap you're required to pull to release the seat so it folds up may 1) have slipped through the small slot in the fabric on the bottom of the seat (Mine did; it can be fished back through the slot with a coat hanger and some patience) or 2) the strap may have broken off previously and you'll have to remove part of the fabric on the seat bottom to release the catch with pliers or vise grips. Hope this helps.
Also had this issue when the seat is is down if there is pressure on it . The seat would not move. I simply either move the seat up or down and then usually the seat goes up.
No dumb dribble. Short,Simple,direct. Good job. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
I was struggling for a minute even tried with a jack 😂 so there's one more nut in the middle huh? Thanks!
Glad to help!
The nut for cables...that's what I was forgetting. Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial
No problem 👍

Can you turn the backseat into a split bench?
not sure but possibly
I don't blame you it's the stupid design of how they would have us trying to ger rhar idiot back seat out WHY SO F. IN HARD?
NOT the same for the crew cab. Not at all alike
Ok thanks for letting us know!
thanks. i was pulling & pulling & the seat would not budge. your video showed the 5th bolt at the center that i had missed somehow
glad it helped!
Has anyone installed ext seats on a crew cab?
Woofer box related question
I DID THIS PROBABLY 5 YEARS AGO BUT NOW? PISSED. MANUAL FOS UA-cam FOR DUMMIES RIGHT?
Can you cut out the middle part of the rear seat to make it like to separate seats in the back and have that open space?
Good job straight to the point well done....
Great video. Having a issue remembering how my seat belts go back in. Lol
Glad it helped!
Does the seats of a Yukon 2005 fit on silverado 1999????
No idea but someone else might be able to weigh in
When its time to reassemble the chair is it necessary to connect the cables that fastens to the 5th nut ?
Technically nothing is necessary but from a safety pov, you should always re-attach everything to do with restraints and seats
great viedeo got me headed in the right direction but my 05 has tethers in both corners and the center. the tether on the right is under one of the bracket nuts that you are removing anyway but the one on the drivers side is stand alone so the nut has to come off. So 6 nuts total not 5 .

Oh… so that’s why my seat wasn’t coming out
Short, sweet, and to the point. Gotta figure out what's going on with the latch assembly for the lower part of the bench on my new to me truck.
We try our best!
Helped me out. Thanks man!

Crew cab seats are different
Good to know! What is different if you wouldnt mind explaining for anyone else with the crew cab?
@@TheSundaeDrive 8- 18mm bolts and then separate the seats with 4 bolts. Can't remember their size. Merry Christmas
Ok thanks for the follow-up! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the great video. I need to get to something behind the seat hence this was very informative.
Awesome! Glad it helped

This is an extended cab but should be the same as a crew cab... step one do soemthing a crew cab isnt capable of doing
Not a first gen but ok
04-07 crew cab the rear seats are different from the extended cab. They have the 60/40 split seat.
Ok thanks for the heads up on that!
Is it possible to just remove the 60(bigger seat)? How hard in general?

That 5th bolt fucked me over for 5 minutes thank you
How do I lower the seat back in the rear seat without taking the whole thing out?
any ideas where i can find a replacement for that trim piece?
Ebay might be best bet
Thanks my friend..🤝

I GIVE UP
Any idea if to install Rough Country seat covers on a 2007 Silverado crew, is removing the rear seats required? I installed everything else, but the rear vertical backs have those damn hooks...... :(
Thanks!
I'm not sure. Haven't installed seat covers on the rear unfortunately
Is this the same for Silverado 2500 2005 ?
i have a 2000 gmc sierra 1500 extended cab and i was wondering how do i remove the back seat head rest so i could tint my back glass easier
Yeah my truck isn't like that but thanks
18mm socket isn't the right size
it might be different on different models/years
Awesome video man thank you
Glad it helped you out!
This helped alot thanks bud
Thanks a lot bro 🙏
What are the straps behind the seat for? I've never known their actual purpose
The ones bolted to the back of the cab? I believe they are for car seat tie downs but the owner's manual can verify that.
@@TheSundaeDrive yea I suppose if I ever looked in the darn for any info other than just motor and driveline info I would know. Haha thanks.
Lol no problem!
Great video any way to move anchors from middle to either left or right for child seat??
I'm not sure, sorry.
Thanks for sharing.
It’s Nbs, not 1st gen
Thank you very much
Glad it helped!
Thanks bro!
Nice and easy.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for making EZ.
No problem!
Boom!!
GREAT content 📹
Thanks!
Can I just slide down the top half of the seat, I’m trying to put a cover on
Probably already figured it out but no. You would have to still remove the bolts to the floor otherwise you wont be able to lift it up.
@@TheBUGZNTA I haven’t figured it out😅 thx though, I just ended up giving up on it, i was trying to put seat covers on it, they were too small anyways
1st gen? 88 to 98 is 1st gen
First gen Silverado is 1999-2007. 88-98 is a C/K series I believe
@@TheSundaeDrive if it is the CK Series, makes me wonder then a lot about Chevy & GMC.
Great now how do I put it back in
Carefully 😅
My 2004 silverado wont fold up. Any suggestions?
It is very dangerous to have a folding truck. I know they only did a short production and the decided that due to the tendency to fold while driving and injure inhabitants to cease production and recall all units produced 😛 just messing, the folding "seats" may not fold if you have something jammed underneath behind them or the strap may be broken
The strap you're required to pull to release the seat so it folds up may 1) have slipped through the small slot in the fabric on the bottom of the seat (Mine did; it can be fished back through the slot with a coat hanger and some patience) or 2) the strap may have broken off previously and you'll have to remove part of the fabric on the seat bottom to release the catch with pliers or vise grips. Hope this helps.
Also had this issue when the seat is is down if there is pressure on it . The seat would not move. I simply either move the seat up or down and then usually the seat goes up.
Can you make a video showing how to change out the rear seatbelt on the passenger side? Mine keeps locking up.
Did he just say 1st gen lol?
