    Does anyone know how to remove the rear seats and the rear shelf for a 412 (400)? I can easily remove the rear seat bottoms and rear central console, but cannot figure out how the remove the seat backs and rear shelf between the back seats and the rear window. I've searched for relevant bolts through the back of the trunk area (and even removed the underneath of one of thethe rear speakers) but with no success. There are a couple of screws inside, at the base of the rear seats, but they only release the bottom and the top remains firmly attached.

    Thanks,
    Clint

    The top of the seat (3) sits in a channel (4) , you need to slide the seat up once you've undone the 3 screws at the bottom.

    First dismantle the entire vehicle, this will enable extraction of the rear shelf!

    Its a very tight fit and you need to be very carefull just ease it back horizontally. I presume you want to recover the leather there as it does shrink back.

    M got your seat backs out, now for the rear deck. It took me 6 weekends to finally get mine out! There are two long thin bolts that go thru to the trunk. Remove the nuts in the trunk. One of my bolts was quite free to move and the other would not budge. Lubricants, destructive implements, etc did not work. A lot of patience and a loyal helper were needed to get it out. We made sure on re-assembly that dodgy bolt was more free to move; I think I drilled the hole thru the frame pipe slightly larger. Good luck.
