Rear seats missing pull tab

A quick trip to the dealership and.....

 

My dealer has to order damn near everything. But, they’ll be there in the morning!!

 

I actually placed my order last evening - and they were delivered this morning so I went an picked them up at noon.

 

Ahhhhhh. Gotcha. Same scenario here.

 

What size of bolt/screw for the pull tab?

 

Sorry - forgot, you need to order the screws separately. Here are the part numbers.

 

My dealer wants

But when the dealer wants $28.95/pull , I am tempted to make my own tabs

 

See my fixed post. I forgot you had to order the screws separately. Not sure of the size...but that price seems like the total for two pulls and screws at full price.

 

Thank you

 

Thanks to the OP for this post. Back in April when I ordered my 2021, I removed those straps and screws from my trade-in and kept them.

 

Thanks. This was bugging me! And was a pain explaining to other people how to lift seat. Now I will just say, pull the tab.

$13 out the door for 2 tabs and screws. At dealership.

 

I had black strap from a knapsack in my junk drawer.
Two plastic drywall plugs, two washers and two #6 3/4" screws.
Looks like OEM.

Saved myself over $60 with taxes.

 

Thank you for this! This is why I love Tacoma World!

 

I have the pull tabs but i’ve also been holding the buckles every time I pull up that rear seat. (Going on 4 years, now)

I was reading through this thread yesterday and thought, how have I had this truck for 3 years, in and out of the rear storage, a lot, and not noticed the seat belt buckle pockets?

Today I took a look and voila! Very handy! Surprising what one can learn about their truck from a 2 year old post.

Thanks, guys. Never too late to learn something.

 

I used a 1 inch wide strip of Velcro tape that stuck to the fabric on the back side of the seat bottom and it stuck more than enough to pull the seat up. You could secure it the bolt hole if you wanted to but not necessary. Used the black and it looks great.

 

What’s the advantage of the pull tabs over just lifting the seat from the side? I checked and my truck has the bolt hole to attach them but no pull tabs.

 

You don’t have ocd like some of us have.
We see a hole with thread, then we must fill said hole because something is missing.

That’s how I ended up having a second child.

 

Mine doesn't have tabs. The seats don't even technically "close" they just lay flat. There is nothing for them to grab and no pull-tab to release them. I thought that was kinda... cheap... but whatever... It's always something on every vehicle. Can't have backlit stuff unless your lights are one, can't have pull tabs... lol. Damnit yota... You and Subaru both do some weird shit.
