Removing Rear Cayenne Seat

[cayennea7]

Hi, I noticed some squeaking noises from the rear seats of my 2008 cayenne S and planning to remove them to fix this issue. Anybody have any instructions on how to remove the rear seats?. I have tried to search everywhere with no luck. Thanks in advance.

1. Folding up back seats. Unlock back seats 1, 2.

2. Unscrew fastening screws 3.

3. Remove seats.

Thanks Loren, you are the man.

Loren, I just looked at the pics closely and looks like that's the instruction to remove the seat cushions. Do you have any instructions on how to remove the back seats support. Thanks

Removing

1. Remove rear headrests and fold backrests 1, 2.

2. Unclip center bearing cover 3 (arrow).

3. Unscrew fastening screw 4 for safety bracket 5. Then remove safety bracket 5.

4. Fold backrest upwards 45°. Disengage backrest from center bearing (in direction of arrow) . Remove backrest at outer bearing 9.

Installing

1. Clip any bushings 8 1, 2.

2. Position backrest at an angle of 45°. Push backrest onto outer bearing 9. Insert center shaft bolt of backrest 6 (in direction of arrow) into the center bearing.

3. Engage safety bracket 5. Screw in fastening screws 4 on safety bracket 5 and tighten to the specified tightening torque (15 ftlb. ± 1.5 ftlb.).

4. Engage center bearing 3 (arrow).

5. Fully fold up backrests 1, 2.

If you need to replace the bushings (pivot points for the seats) that is a a bit trickier - but can be done.

Did same. The outer bearing (9) has a plastic sheath/cover. mine cracked allowing the bearing too much play on the passenger side. made a lot of noise when someone wasn't sitting in the backseat. i used electrical tape to wrap the end of the bearing and create some cushion. also found lots of sticky stuff spilled by kids i couldn't previously reach/clean. squeaks & rattle solved. Thanks, Loren.

Oh great to hear that you have fixed the problem. I noticed an annoying squeaking noise around the trunk area. At first I thought it was probably suspension related as it was noticeable during turning left or right. So I had my friend drove me while I was in the trunk and found that it was coming from the back seat. I actually bought item #9 awhile back and will replace it soon.

Hello, does anyone have info or is there a post (can't find one) on removing a 3rd Gen/958/92A rear seat? Need to replace the center belt buckle (after being used only a handful of times) that went bad. Any help would be great.

Great post...does anyone know what the torx size is to remove the bolts?
