is the rear bench seat in my 95 fsb supposed to fold down or does it just unlatch at the rear and pivot up?

ok yeah i found it, never knew it was there, is it supposed to go flush down to the floor?

RedF · 01-08-2011, 07:45 PM

no, it will not fold flush to the floor.

it sits up vertical, directly behind the front seats.

**c-dub** · 01-08-2011, 07:46 PM

nah, going to take up the floor space behind the front seats

ok thanks guys, i feel stupid, but that lever is barely visible, it blends in with the seat tracks, so what was the point of this, to give extra room to put 2x4's and stuff in there or what?

**c-dub** · 01-08-2011, 07:59 PM

give you an extra 2 feet of space. while still keeping the stuff in the back, well in the back. still not enough for 2x4's i think it only gives you 5'

Plenty space for my wheeling gear, cooler, tools, bicycles.....shall I go on?

digitalbliss · 01-08-2011, 11:24 PM

It gives me the extra room i need for my 2 dogs and all the sh!t i carry when i go camping.

If you need more room pull the seats out, just pull out the cotter pins and remove the kingpins on each side, I just had mine out to power wash the carpet, and man is it heavy and akward to move by yourself, a friend would be helpful

Andrew James · 01-09-2011, 04:38 AM

It's awesome, extra room I need for anything I ever haul.

I've found that if you pull the center seatbelt out between the seat and the back it makes a good carry point

fordman44 · 01-09-2011, 07:49 AM

You can always remove it for a little more space. It is a little heavy, but the front pins come right out.

For ther Seat (I can't copy & paste the Images here)

"Rear Flip Fold Seat
To fold the seat forward:
1. The seat back latch is at the lower rear right hand side of the seat. Lift the latch handle to unlock the seat back.
2. Fold the seat back over the seat cushion until it locks into place.
3. Unlock the seat from the floor striker by lifting the seat latch handle at the center rear edge of the seat.
4. Lift the seat and fold forward.
To remove and reinstall the rear flip-fold seat:
1. Remove the torque rod by releasing it from the right hand floor bracket (by pushing forward and up).
2. Remove the pin spring retainers and the pins from both the floor brackets.
3. Remove the seat assembly from your Bronco.
Reverse this procedure to install the rear flip-fold seat.
NOTE: It is important that you do not damage the seat belt hardware while removing or installing the rear flip-fold seat."

You rock once again miesk5 (and Steve83). I had the back seat out for a week for the first time and I couldn't remember how that torsion bar went. It IS friggin heavy! To make things more interesting I had to take out the seat through the passenger door to clean the carpet and seat (mold was closing my throat) so I could repair the back window motor. A week of drying and airing out and I forgot.

The back seat is very clumsy and weighs in about 80lbs.
