rear seat removal tip
Just thought I'd share. For those of us that are either too large to fit back there or can't get the needed leverage to push that rear seat backward, or in my case, it had never been removed and was quite stuck. Be sure to spread the load over a large area so the surface doesn't get marred. It takes a little fiddling with the wood lengths but once you hammer that center plank down, the seat pops back and comes right out.
Hope this helps someone

I actually kept the boards, marked them with a sharpie. Wouldn't it be a little different for each car though? I know your [half] kidding but I could get the dimensions.
Good point. I DID have to use the same procedure to get them back in. I'd forgotten that. Used the boards to push it back into place and then plopped my behind onto the seat. Worked like a charm.

That only works on Saddle or Sienna trim interiors....
Seriously - cool idea. I think I'd use 2x6 or 2x8 on the front of the seat though to spread out the force better. On second thought maybe I should use smaller dimension wood to remove the finger prints of the peeps who sat back there while I gave them a test drive...
