How To Remove the Rear Seats from a Toyota Prius V

The rear seats in the 2012 Toyota Prius V slide, recline, fold flat, and, if you're willing to take a socket set to your car, are easily removed.  Taking out one or both seats really increases the cargo space.  I cut one of the plastic covers to make it even easier to remove the seats.    

Step 1 Remove plastic covers

Remove the four plastic covers at the ends of the seat rails.  Three of the four come off easily; the fourth runs almost the entire width of the door, covers some wires, and has a few plastic things and connectors.  After removing this larger cover once, I opted to cut it.

how do you like the new Prius V? I was really hoping that they would also have come out with the 7 seater like they did in Japan...
