Great video, now I know what happened the other day when I heard a loud noise in the rear full seat after a person sat. I found two broken plastic pieces on the floor, it turns is the seat brackets you described. I guess I didn't fully lowered the seat when the person sat. Seat still operates, but sometimes while driving it makes a rattling low nois. I guess is the left loose plastic left on the seat. Well thanks for doing the video, now I know what to face whenever I decide to fix the brackets that if they are repairable. --- Thanks
Awesome video. I just bought a 2016 Silverado 1500 and was trying to install some electrical epuipment behind the seat. This video works perfectly for my new truck as well. Thanks so much!!!!
Awesome vid. Crystal clear explanation that answered my question. Just bought a new 2015 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab, and I have the identical seats. Major bummer IMHO when GM changed the design of these seats. My 2001 GMC with the lift-up, fold-down rear seat arrangement allowed me to store TONS of stuff - all EZ to access - but unfortunately not with these new seats. It's my only complaint with this truck and I was hoping that maybe I could MacGyver something to make the rear seat back fold down for a larger temporary storage platform. Unfortunately I can't, but you know how sometimes the little things can bug you. Oh well, at least the Bose speakers sound cool - I'll get over it.
Looked like a plug in the center of the back wall (center across and up and down). Is this an access point? Or is there any factory holes in the back wall that you could run wires or coax cable through? Mine is 2014 Sierra Crew. Thanks
Honestly I don’t know. I don’t have this truck anymore so I can’t check. I do j ow there is a motor for the rear window slider somewhere on the back wall. But as far as access Thru the back of the cab I’m not sure.
The hooks on the back of the seat can be trimmed 2.5" and then they will clear the retaining rings on the back wall, allowing for the seatback to fold downward when the bottom is lifted. Here's a link for the mod: ua-cam.com/video/1ZgS_Lg8a7Y/v-deo.html
On a different topic, I'm assuming you have the led light strips for the bed of your truck; have you ever thought about putting a on/off power switch in the back for those cargo lights? I was hoping someone might have tried to do this already and figured you'd be the guy to know how! Just curious to know how much of a hassle it would be to put the power switch in the back so you don't have to go to the cab and turn it on everytime. Thanks
Dar R I do have the LED's. I haven't ventured that far yet. But I'm sure there is a way to do it. Not sure how hard it would be. I really don't use the bed lights that often.
Is there a firewall or some sort of hole to run a CB antenna out of to the truck bed (I know the bed is separate from the cab and there's a fab between them both)
Yes, there is. Watch my video on how to install a tailgate lock. It shows the location of a hole to put wires thru. Its on the driver side, under the carpeting. You'll have to remove the door sill trim to pull the carpet back so you can get to it.
@Mike Long, for some reason I cannot reply to you directly so hopefully you see this. I know the exact mod you are talking about with the older extended cab seats. I had a 2002 Ext cab Silverado and did it on that truck. I still think you might be able to somehow with these seats, but I didn't want to risk cutting anything on the seat brackets before I saw someone else do it on the forums or something. Let them be the guinea pig. Cheers!
I bought my truck in August/September of 2013. At that time, the trim package "All Terrain" did not come with bumper steps. Then in early 2014, GMC started including it for the All Terrain package.

You can remove the word “easy” from the title of this video, as there’s nothing EASY about it!!! Why can’t you just call it rear seat removal?? It’s not like you found some trick or hidden secret nobody knows about. My goodness, all you did was just unbolt every damn thing!!!!

Hi, can you remove that back wall behind the seats for access to the back???
It’s not removable. You have to cut something custom into the back of the cab.
The hooks on the back of the seat can be trimmed 2.5" and then they will clear the retaining rings on the back wall, allowing for the seatback to fold downward when the bottom is lifted. Here's a link for the mod: ua-cam.com/video/1ZgS_Lg8a7Y/v-deo.html

Check out my video for on/off switch

Can you keep just the small side in?
Yea. I think so
Do you by chance know the thread and size of the 18mm nuts? Thank you in advance
Sorry I do not.
Does anybody? I took my seats out and lost the nuts, I need to replace them so I can put them back and sell my truck lol
Can you remove one of the two split sections or has to be the whole bench?
Jason Thornton yes. As shown in the video...
Is there a firewall or some sort of hole to run a CB antenna out of to the truck bed (I know the bed is separate from the cab and there's a fab between them both)

+fondupot so it's not behind the backseat, but under the carpet instead? Darn.

You can just run your wires along the frame rail to the bed to your antenna.

Hey bro how are you, i was wondering how is your back bumper doesn't have the steps?!
I bought my truck in August/September of 2013. At that time, the trim package "All Terrain" did not come with bumper steps. Then in early 2014, GMC started including it for the All Terrain package.
fondupot oh ok thanks man keep up your videos they are great
What are the chances that its the same process for the 08-13 model silverados??
+osbaldo garcia I would bank on it being pretty dang close.
awesome video! does anyone know where i can find out how to remove my front seats as well?
+osalinas86 not sure, but if I ever have to remove them, I will make a video!
