    Hmmm, this is a very interesting point. Since there are actually two(2) methods of removing the back seat; only one, may be the "preferred".

    The two(2) methods for removing the VX back seat are:

    A: Remove 4 "vertical" bolts holding down brackets and risk possible snapping off bolts due to unforeseen rust/corrosion.
    B: Remove 2 "horizontal" (pivoting) retaining pin/bolts that secure rear seat to actual bracket (leaving brackets still bolted to VX floor).

    The "preferred" method is choice "B". This method leaves the original two(2) seat brackets still bolted to VX floor without risking possible bolt snappage. In addition, removal/re-installation of the pivoting retaining pin/bolts are much easier in choice "B" and do not risk possible lost/misplaced brackets when re-installation time comes. Further, after the rear seat has been removed; immediately replace the two(2) pivoting retaining pin/bolts back into the original seat brackets. This will prevent possible lost/misplacement of the pivoting retaining pin/bolts and will enable the rear seat brackets (now empty) to be used as possible "tie-down/anchor" points for cargo in addition to the existing cargo attachment points!!!
