    Am I to understand from that write-up that the anchors are only behind the driver seat, and not on both sides? What if you have two kids who need a car seat? I don't have kids, but now I'm curious. I'll have to look when I leave work.

    Well, I don't need them out. But they are sure ugly, and I want them out. I was hoping they would slide in and out like any other head rest. That way I could just slip them in for the one or two times/year that I have rear passengers.... Gives me a project to work on over Christmas.

    haha i was messing around back there on saturday and i pulled enough of the rear plastic off to reach the passenger side head rest bolts. i didnt try to take them out for fear of dropping the wrench or bolts...i really think this is the only way to do it tho. you could try one of those telescoping magnet wands to get your wrench.

    yeah luckily i have not heard it rattle around yet but i am sure it will because when it fell i heard it hit metal, i only removed the passenger side not the side behind me, but let me tell you it is worth it if you do put a baby back there.

    yeah i did what the guy said, i eventually found the green piece way down below with a flashlight and popped the plastic piece out then the other side and i had to keep pulling on it and more of the plastic clips would just pop out haha gave me enough room to get a socket back there and loosened it till i could get it with my hand so i didnt lose the bolt, my bro in law is the one that dropped the wrench back there haha.
