![Default](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Tools required:channel locks a utility knife, and an 8mm socket. The channel locks are for the torx screws that mount the seat back to the hinge, these are used due to the lack of room to fit any other tools back there.
1) Remove torx screw (using channel locks) holding seat back on either side of seat. (total of 4 on split bench)

2) Pull up on seat back to disengage from hook and pull seat back out.
3) Using 8mm socket, remove catches on the back of the cab.
4) With utility knife, cut sound deadener to make room for upside down catches.
5) Reinstall the catches upside down

6) Reinstall seat backs. (lining up these mounts can be a bit of a PITA but its not too bad) Take your time and line up the bolt right.

Add me to that list. I am sure it is something worthwhile but I can't tell from the pics what exactly we are supposed to be looking at.

Well I just did the mod....Do yall's back seat come off of the wall if you lift the bottom up a few times? I just put in a new sub box, its about 1" above the rests for the bottom of the seat, that might be doing it. The mount for the old torx screw kind of sticks out?
One question....My box doesn't quite fit too well, the seat pushes it down and it wobbles....any ideas?
