thanks for the video! fyi, turns out it’s a 14mm bolt, apparently japanese cars use metric system. noting bc i busted a 9/16 adapter trying to get out a particularly stuck bolt, but a 14mm adapter with additional leverage got it out okay 👌
I really want to see what the back looks like and how much space there is after the seats are removed, in case, for longer trips, you can use if for say two bikes, with front wheel on or off. Do you have other vidoes that show this, thanks,
did your back seats not have a cable attached underneath? Mine do for sliding the seat forward and back, but they run clear under the carpet by the rear mounting brackets
That's interesting - ours didn't have a cable, nor did they slide (the middle and back rows). Maybe we had a different model edition of the 2004 Highlander.
@@catpatrick3838 Do you have a link to that video? I'm trying to remove the middle row seats for my 2014 Highlander but can not figure out what to do with the cable.
How did you angle the seats upwards to access the bolts in the back? My middle seats are still flat and i can't quite get to the back side bolts on the middle seats
Hey, good question... It was surprisingly tricky! I had the seats flat and thought for a while that I was missing something because I couldn't quite get it. However, with my socket wrench's extender and several attempts at getting it wedged in at the right angle, I was able to fit it over the bolt and get it out. The extender was crucial, but even still it barely fit, was a really tight squeeze fitting it and my hand close enough, and I could only do about a 1/8th turn at a time. It took forever, but ultimately got it.
@@jesusduran1059 yeppers well you are most welcome... I just looked at this site today for my 04 highlander AFTER being shown everything but 1st generation highlander 🙄when I'd searched for 04🥴.... I hope you were able to get information for your highlander 🤗🙂
We're still working on other features, but for now replaced some of the original bolts back into their bolt holes, and covered some with supports for the bed, etc. Looking into them, it doesn't seem like water would be an issue, but I'm not totally sure if it would be.
Hey, good catch - every bolt I met in the highlander was either 10, 12, or 14mm. I must not have caught myself mentioning 9/16 standard in here. Thanks for flagging that
Great video, you won't have an acting career, but you can teach. I watched, went outside and did it, EZ Peazy... Note;The passenger side, middle seat does not lay flat when folded, so if you are only removing one (so my wife can put her ski boots on in this crazy covid world) be sure to select which seat will meet your needs. Wide and no table, or narrow with a flat folding (table) next to you.
