How To Remove the Rear Seats from a Toyota Prius V

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.

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...
