Back seat wont come down... I just purchased a 96 chevy cavlier and I am replacing the rear deck carpet/cover. I need to pull the rear seat down but it has no pull down strap in the upper center spot where one once was. How can I get it to come down??

Try this for the back seat: Pull the back seat down. Unscrew all the bolts behind the back seats to release it from the brace. Pull the seat back off the rear deck and out of the car. Feel under the seat cushions for release tabs on both sides. Pull the release tabs to loosen the seat cushion. Push the seat belt buckles into the holes to prevent the seat from getting caught up in the seat cushion

Two bolt behind the rear seat tracks under little covers, the lift up the back of the seat and pull the seat assembly towards the rear, the you have your electrical connectors

you have to remove the rear deck cover by folding rear seats down and pull plastic push pins out. there are four. once they are out the rear deack will pull off. Once it is off you should be able to see how the speakers come out. just replace them with the new ones and replace the rear deck and pins.

The bolts are located under the rear deck (where the rear speakers are located) inside the car. First start by opening the fold down rear seats. There you will find 4 bolts holding the rear seat back. Remove them. Pull the seat back forward and lay it down on the rear seat. Next remove the rear deck. There are 2 plastic push-in clips that hold the rear deck. They located toward the front. Pull them out. Now the rear deck can be removed by sliding forward towards the front of the car. Under the rear deck is insulation which can be lifted out. Under the insulation are the bolts for each strut. Remove these bolts and the strut can be pulled out.

There is a latch located behind the head rest on the rear deck area of the car. Good Luck

If it is the factory installed speakers.They are come out thru the inside.You need to remove the rear deck carpet...Easiest way is to remove both back seats first .
Remove the bottom seat first by pushing the seat towards the back of the car / then lift it up.
Then you will release the other seat by (using a socket set) to remove 2 nuts inside the trunk.then the seat will be release to simply lift out of the car. remove the top deck carpet .
The speakers are held in by 4 angled clips.
From inside the trunk, release the 4 angled clips,disconnect the speaker wires.Then push the speaker inside the car and your done. Hope this helps.

Open the rear doors Follow the carpet to the bottom of the rear seats. You will see staples along the carpet. (This is to adhere Velcro to the carpet.) Separate at that seam. Reach in and pull the carpet forward. The Fuse boxes are long narrow black boxes. (its tight and you have to use some force to pull the carpet back. Fuse boxes are located on both the driver side and passenger side. Good luck!

The best thing to do is to purchase a Haynes manual for the Toyota Previa. But to access the spark plug wires and spark plugs you will need to remove the passenger front seat. This requires taking out four bolts on the four corners of the seat. After the seat is removed you need to remove the outside seat support and the jack and jack handle that is located under the seat. Next remove the bolt from the seat belt/shoulder harness. Romove the screws from the side of the carpet keeper strip along the bottom of the door. carefully, using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the plastic carpet strip up carefully disengaging it from the rear strip. Unhook the carpet from the edge of the doorway. Pull the carpet back enough to expose the bolts holding the cover over the engine. Remove all the bolts holding the cover over the engine. This will expose the engine head. remove the three bots holding the black plastic cover over the spark plug wires. This wires can be removed allowing access to the plugs. Be aware these engines use only platinum tipped spark plugs. Good Luck

Good luck....

It's a lot of work for just cleaning.
Fold the rear seat down and remove the two 12mm bolts on the bottom corners of the seat back, pull the seat out.
Between the seat bottom and the carpet you will find two tabs you need to pull and then pull the seat bottom up and out of the car.
Remove the two 10mm bolts securing the seat bolsters to the area the seat bottom was covering. Pull the seat bolsters up and out of the car.
Pop the "C" pillar trim off of the car (above the parcel shelf and beside the rear glass) (side airbag vehicles have a slightly different procedure.)
Pull up on the parcel shelf carefully and evenly. Remove clean and put everything back together.
