Hello all, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks as I'm a bit shy ![]() However, onto the guidance, I'm looking to remove/delete/extract the rear seats as in the nearly 9 years of owning 944's I think they've been used once for a half mile journey, and in the quest for better fuel efficiency ![]() thanks in advance for any help |

Hi and welcome to the forum IIRC to remove the backrest there are some screws in the bottom corners at each side and you need to pull back the 'carpet' on the rear of it away to find them The rear seat base is glued in place. I think that you have to pull the rear carpet away to do this. for the back rest. I am sure there will be someone else here who knows more about it |

I'm going to do the same I think. I'd love to get my hands on the 968 cab gubbins that replace the rear seats with two lockable cubby holes. |

Hi, Got mine stripped out, here are some pic's that might be usefull, the weight of the fold down rear seat back is 5kg on its own !!!!!so i can see your point on deleting seats, i've been taking seat/general trim out off on since i've bought the car, its quality german products with the inherent weight penalty ![]() Attachment: PORSCHE 001.jpg Hope this helps, you can see the fold back hinge bolt locations, they are M6 Removed them with a 10mm combo/ratchet spanner . cheers |

The other option to the cubby boxes is the 968 Club Sport rear seat delete kit. I'm not sure exactly what this would comprise and the carpet would only be in black as this was the only interior colour in the CS. |

Deleting the rear set definitely is a viable option to remove unnecessary weight from the car. We also went down this route and have developed our own high-quality Club Sport Rear Seat Delete to give the weight-saving initiative a proper, clean finish in "factory style": http://www.deutschnine.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=porsche-transaxle&Product_Code=D9-944II951S2-RSD&Category_Code=porsche-transaxle-944-turbo-s2-aero-dynamics (Hope that is fine if I post this link here, otherwise please one of the moderators remove it) Cheers Beni (other colour options are available but you would have to be patient ![]() |
