How to remove lower seat cushions for rear seat?

[beoba]

I'm about to do some moving in a couple weeks, and noticed that I'd be able to easily fit a piece of furniture into the car if I was able to remove the lower seat cushions of the rear seat (to give the rear doors more clearance).

It'd be great if I could just take the whole assembly out and put it elsewhere while I do the move. By the feel of it, I think it's only attached by a few latches, so this certainly seems possible. Does anyone have any ideas on this, possibly even from other Nissans? If it's any help, the model in question is a 2007 sedan.

Thanks!

The service manual gives a procedure - I'd imagine it's similar for the sedan as for the hatch. (Page SE-15 forward)

Thanks for the help! I didn't see the service manual at your link, but I did find end up finding it here: download

Figured the info would be handy for someone else.

when i had my first car, i was cleaning the backseat and accidentally pulled the rear cushions out. oops. i was stressing big time, and then it just popped back in. hopefully its something like that. it shouldn't be too hard. good luck

Yeah, I tried it a few hours ago after getting off work. Just had to firmly lift up on the cushion and it popped loose, with two small latches on the underside of the cushion. Some maneuvering had to be done with the seat belts, but other than that it was very straightforward. Just had to mash it back down and it popped right back into place. If I end up totally removing the cushion from the car, I'll need to detach the center seat belt, since it passes through a hole in the cushion. But I think that just lifting the cushion in-place to be vertical should be plenty to accommodate what I'd be moving. Thanks again!

Sorry about that - I know it's on this website somewhere (because that's where I downloaded mine), so when I saw "'07 Service and Maint" under "Versa Downloads - Nissan Versa Manuals" I assumed that was it. Glad you found it, in any case!
