Default 2001 Boxster seats, how do I remove the seat backs?

I just purchased a set of 2001 Boxster seats and need to remove the seatbacks from the bottoms so I can get them into my 928 for transport home.

Thanks,

Glenn,
I don't mean to be picky or bring any negativity to you, but you forgot the "s" in Boxster. The name came from a combination of the boxer engine and the roadster... Box/ster! If I knew anything about taking the seat apart this is where I would inform you, but I don't. Good luck in your request.

I don't have my seats in front of me, but it is possible... I did it once, but I can't remember for the life of me... although, I don't remember it being too hard with a good set of tools.

cant you just recline the seats so they are flat and stack them? Or would they be too long?

And spelling Boxster wrong can get you lynched around here!!

Rob Budd sent me this,
"There's a couple bolts on each end at the bottom of the seat back and a rod that goes all the way across. On the end of the rod, there's a clip or allen head screw that must come off so the rod slides out. Once its unbolted and the rod comes out, the back comes off."

Does this sound correct?
Glenn
