- In this video I show you how I removed my 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback rear seats. I am not responsible in any way shape or form for anything that you break, damage, or injure while you are working on your car. This is simply a video showing how I removed my rear seats.
Tools needed:
-E10 Socket
-3/8 Rachet (more desirable to have an electric 3/8 impact like I used to make your life easier)
-3/8 Extension

My 2007 Yaris Hatchback has a rear bench seat that is not split 60/40 and does not slide forward. Also looks like I have regular hex bolts holding the rear bench in place. This video will still help me out when I upgrade the rear speakers. Thank you for making this! 👍
Happy to help! Yep all your bolts should be in the same places. Be sure to check out my other video showing how to remove your rear speaker panels. Please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel! Good luck on your project!
You are the man! I have to replace my fuel door cable and need to get behind that panel. This will help immensely! Saw your other video about removing panel to get to speaker. Very good and helpful! Thanks!

09' hatch, never even thought about seat removal, as I live in NE I add weight for the winter, that said awesome video and good content. Subscribed and look forward to your journey
Thanks so much for the kind words! Happy to help!
Did you get racing seats?
@@johnmaynard8556 I do have some lined up unfortunately with the pandemic the whole build has been put on hold just because there was no sense in building it if we couldn't do track events. I'm hoping to start it over the next few months and have it ready for spring racing.
Sweet ride bro!
Will be staying tuned for more yaris vids i have plans for my lil shark yaris too

Im also trying to remove the bolts myself and have found they are too tight. Which impact wrench did you use to remove your bolts?
Your videos are wonderful man. the info so easily available. You should try to own the market by creating a top quality video on one very popular car and gain traction to be the #1 library of this stuff :D hire a small prod team!
Thank you for for the kind words I really appreciate it! I have some big plans for 2022! Be sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel! Good luck on your project!
Thanks a lot I made it after 1 hrs struggling
Happy to hear the video helped! Please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel!
Question, I bought a 07 hatch 2dr same seats with belt, after removing can you still use the factory spare floor cover? And in your opinion once seats removed could you do something like foam squares to make the floor more level? Looking to remove them just for less weight for mpg but would like to make the floor more flat with something afterwards.
You are still able to use the spare tire cover. And yes you could put some foam blocks or something to make the rear area more level. I will advise taking the rear seats out does change the way the car handles some just because there is less weight above the rear axle beam.
Very helpful thank you!
Happy to help!
I appreciate the video man! I'm trying to take out the rear seatbelt on the top...any experience with that?
Hey I'm sorry for just now replying. For some reason I just now saw your comment. I'm sure you've probably already taken the rear seat belts out however as promised in this video I am planning on building the yaris and will be documenting taking everything apart. I am waiting on two parts to still come in and then I'm going to start the build process. So stay posted if you need videos on how to remove things. Good luck on your project!
@@TheInteriorAutoMechanic hey man just wondering if u have a vid on how to remove the middle seat belt (and get the plastic coverings out)? I'm trying to do the same
Awesome video
Happy to help!
Excellent video and work. Can you please make a Tutorial on this car explaining how to remove the central plastic part next to the luggage compartment lock and sealing rubber. If you need to send a photo to be easier. 😊
Hi, I will be making more videos on this car very soon. Unfortunately the Yaris build got postponed however it is now back on and will be starting on the car very soon. I will be posting multiple videos of how to take different things apart so stay tuned for all the videos. Good luck on your project!
Did this make codes on the dash for seat belt etc?
Hy, do you know the size and type of screws that are used to keep the seat in place? My car is missing 2 of those screws on one side of the back seat.
Hi, it will be the same size bolt as what holds the back seat in. I believe it's an E10 if I remember correctly.
how do i remove the rear trim to reach the speakers?, do i need to remove the seats first or i can do without? please let me know, same exact car model 3 door, just subbed btw!
Hi I'm not sure if this info is still needed but I just posted a video of how to do that :)
Much better then my boot system in my Yaris '02 xD
But it’s ok I like my car anyway 🥰
just tried to do the bench seat in my '08. Not as simple so far, looks like the slide function improves access. Any ideas?
Hi there! Yes the bench seat isn't great. The rear slider seats are much heavier but they make the rear area more useful. All bolts should be in the same places though. What exactly do you need help with?
I enjoy my yaris, like to buy a newer 3 door hatchback, easy on gas and cheap on repairs. Cant wait to see what your doing with yours..
Be sure to subscribe so you can keep up with the build. I've been gathering parts over the past few months and will be making videos for them shortly.
Well I failed at taking out backseat, due to rust, one harbor freight extension snapped, got breaker bar and then the nut snapped in half, even used penetrating lube. Guess will have to grind bolts down . This need a fuel pump. May end up tack welding back seat in after pump works.
@@traceyhobbs8331 an easy out will be your best friend to get the rusted snapped off bolts out.
I grinded it down , but I bet there is 2 more in the middle, not sure how it get to them, and if I can , I'm sure they will break off to .my seat doesn't slide like yours did.
@@traceyhobbs8331 Yeah you have the bench seat style. You should be able to remove your rear cushion just by pulling up and getting it out of the way and then you'll be able to access the other two bolts you're talking about. I would recommend soaking them in penetrating oil before you try removing them..
Aoa Sir am salman from pakistan
Could you plz tell me whats the nomenclature or exact name of the tray which u unlocked in boot and then accessed to tyre and 2 small boxes on right and left.
Is it called trunk matt? But i dont think so it seems like its a trunk tray for tyre but couldnt find on ebay or amazon
I will get the part number for you later today
is the process generally the same for a 2020 toyota yaris? thank you
No the 2020 Yaris was actually built by Mazda for Toyota. It will most likely have different bolts and they will be located in different locations.
Did you have to use a power drill to get those screws loose?
I did however if you have muscles you could do it with a ratchet. You may get arm pump though because some of the bolts are extremely tight. If you can't break them loose try soaking them with Seafoam Deep Creep, that's the best penetrating oil that I've ever used.
What did you do after removing the seats?
We are currently in the process of building a track car with the Yaris. Please check out the channel and you can see our most recent videos of the Yaris.
I need these seats
Good stuff! Keep going!

Hello, how many euros can the tray that covers the spare wheel cost?
I'm not sure what prices are where you are located; however where I am it would cost around $30 USD. Please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel.
Thanks for the vid. Mouse had made nest under my rear seats and i need to deepclean and remove those seats:/

Will there be more videos on your buildout of this car?
Currently the project is put on hold just because of the pandemic and there was no sense in building it if there were no events to race it at. However, I do have plans to start building it in late January/early February to get it ready for the upcoming spring season granted there aren't more shut downs. Please subscribe to stay posted!
The Yaris build episode #1 is up now :)
Does it work on a 4 door non hatch back
No your rear seats will be held in differently. You will have fewer bolts to remove.
Was the fuel pump under the seat??
Yes it is. It's more under the bottom cushion part of the seat.
@@TheInteriorAutoMechanic thank you so much..👍👍
@@jackieo5287 happy to help!
@@TheInteriorAutoMechanic is it loud without the seats muffling the sound?
@@jaydee2824 it is definitely louder but not unbearable
Do you know what drive the socket is?
3/8" drive
Interior Auto Mechanic Thank you!
What about a bench seat without the split?
The bolts will all be in the same place. However, your bottom cushion the part your butt sits on will pull up near the front of the cushion. It will have two metal prongs that pop into two plastic pieces on the metal brace underneath of it. Once you remove the seat cushion all of the bolts will be in the exact same place as the split seats. If you need more help let me know thanks!
Cool, thank you. Please keep us up to date with your progress with (cars name) the Yaris.
@@ferdinandy Happy to help!
Hi I likeyour accent. Mines’s from souther Wv. I have the 2019 hatchback & believe it only carries 815lbs including passengers. I don’t feel I need that heavy spare & all the heavy tool with it. The salesman even made fun of me behind my back for letting him sell me that stuff that “only old ladies want these days Then mocked me for charging me at LEAST $1500 dollars to much for the car. Nice guy. If i wanted to lighten this up for camping w my 2 dogs would it be ok to empty out that spare stuff snd take out the seats like you’re saying for camping would that be ok? Also, would tethering some lightish gear be ok? Thank you to anyone with an opinion ♥️🙋♀️
On the roof I meant. Many thanks.
Thanks for the kind words. I never realize I have an accent until someone mentions it lol. You can definitely remove the rear seats and spare tire kit to save some weight and free up some space. I will say the Yaris does seem to need some weight over the rear axle to keep its regular handling. When you remove the seats and the spare tire, the rear end get does get lighter and it is noticeable while driving. If you're planning on putting weight back in there anyway, I wouldn't see why that would make any difference. Basically you're just swapping out the seats for heavy camping supplies. Just be aware it may drive a little bit different than if you kept your Yaris stock. As far as putting anything on the roof, I would not recommend anything heavy. The roofs of these cars are very thin and dent very easily. So if you needed to put something lightweight on the roof that would be fine. But I would recommend getting a thule roof rack if you were going to strap anything large or heavier to it. I hope the video helps! Please consider liking the video and subscribing to the channel :)
anyone know how to access the rear side speakers on a 3 dr hatch?
I will be making a video on this in the coming weeks.
Hi I'm not sure if this info is still needed but I just posted a video on how to do that :)
This is so nice. Like this Comment if you enjoyed The video. #wow Xd
Toyota Yaris
Weight reduction
There is definitely some white reduction with these heavy seats being taken out of the rear however I have noticed the car is a bit more twitchy since it doesn't have that weight over the rear axle. I'm hoping to be able to combat this with a good suspension setup on this build. If you're interested in seeing the yaris build please subscribe to the channel and ring the bell for notifications.
