How to remove the rear seatback on a 2013 Ford F150 Supercab - Best Video

[@sethshallsh]

Way helpful you posted it five years ago I'm so glad I found this you're exactly right showing us how to put it together makes us understand how to take it apart

[@laserdad]

I like that you left your frustration in, instead of editing to make it seem easier.

[@ibrk4llamas508]

Best video for dealing with the rear seatback! My son and I spent days fishing with a wire hanger for an imaginary button b/c of other F150 videos he found. This was the answer for his 2013 F150 STX Supercab. Thx!!

[@yungnguyen82]

lol

[@kevinwoodkw]

Doug, I did it like a pro. Thanks so much, we need more guys like you that get to the point and make it happen.

[@bryankoller2028]

This video was the bomb, i was struggling to get my seat back off with no luck. When you showed me how everything worked before you shot the video. That was perfect i had my seat back off in 3 min. Well donr

[@logick220]

Thank you for putting accurate info in an easy to understand format. Well done. This worked for me when nothing else would.

[@CJRock]

Thank you for this video!!! You most definitely have the best video. After seeing the back of the seat where the clip fits into the frame, I fully understood how the process worked. I had watched several videos but they did not do a good job of explaining the process. After watching your video, I had the seat back out in less than five minutes. Thanks again!!!

[@treystoys]

Great video sir and an honest show at that. I’ve been doing mechanic work for 30 years now and will admit that sometimes a little you tube helps lol. Showing the inner workings of the latch made for perfect instructions. 👍🏻

[@johnstevenson7992]

I would of never got that seat out without watching your video. I finally got that seat out, installed new seat covers, and it looks great, Thank you much

[@bigalTN1]

PERFECT! Just what I was looking for. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. Every video I've watched has led me in all different directions that were wrong. So thank you for taking the extra time to be detailed in your "How -To" video.

[@danielkrinitsyn7442]

Wow AMAZING VIDEO! I just about watched every other video that didn't help me, and then I found this video and finally I got it! Thank you!

[@BoomerAdventurist]

I've watched a few videos about removing the seat back and FINALLY one that explains it enough that I was able to do it. Thanks!

[@dougmasters3875]

Same problem I had, glad I could help.

[@stevenborek5049]

Thanks for the video. I didn't have a pocket in the foam to follow so I had a lot of resistance to raising above the bar. I had a 5/16 x 24 inch round stock that gave me the leverage to pull up to the tab. I got lucky and hit the hole when I pulled up. The seat popped right out. I never would have found that without your video. Thanks again.

[@symonsez1]

Yep the only video that got it right for my truck, but what a pain in the rear end ...the engineer that designed this I am sure got fired LOL .. Thanks Doug

[@marybott5120]

Your video was better explained than others I've watched. Thanks for the help

[@mudhole1912]

Thank you! I had watched two other videos on how to remove the seat back, but yours was the most clear and I finally was successful.

[@tomanderson529]

Thank you, thank you, thank you - I would never have figured this out on my own. You saved me hours of frustration and cursing. Your directions worked perfectly for me.

[@dougmasters3875]

My pleasure, glad I could help.

[@Jst._Hann]

Now if I could only latch the seatback back into its locked position????? It just won't lock!

[@donavanthorpe4051]

Thank you so much I had to take the seat back out of a 2012 f150 to change the back window and your video was so much more in depth and you actually showed us what to do. Thank you

[@tonyhernandez4185]

I only watched half of your vid and that was all I need. That vertical tab is key. Thank for posting.

[@yehudaglick2410]

Doug, thanks! Tried half an hour with a dozen videos, you did by saying to push down the seat down to release the pressure. Great explanation and detail. Your video is better then others out there. Peace!

[@jameslacomb3943]

I struggled for hours then saw your video in less then 5 minutes I got it thank you so much

[@francoisgravel6126]

Excellent explanation. I have watched many other videos and this is the only one that made sense. Thanx for sharing !!

[@ToddHoobler]

So nice to finally see how this is done. Frustrating that Ford couldn't standardize its seat installation for all model years and not make things so complicated. I plan on removing the clip for easier removal in the future.

[@cw2798]

I’ve been dicking around for two days trying to get my back seat out. This is the last video I watched and the only one that helped. Thank you

[@IvanDenisLive]

I watched your video. Thanks for showing me what I was trying to do. Turns out I could weasel my hand around the lower corner. I reached back to feel the screwdriver and found I could just pull the tab back with my hand. I have large hands and small wrists so this trick may not work for everyone. But I can pull my seat out in the time it takes me to walk around the truck…so thanks for that!

[@weekendsoutdoors5938]

Great video! This video is what I was looking for. I was struggling to remove the back in order to install seat covers. I spent over an hour on it after watching other videos with no success. This video explained exactly what needed to be done. After I watched this video it only took me a minute to remove it.

[@foxwild1703]

I'd have to agree, your video is much better than any of the others I watched, because you 1) have a full view video, not a skinny cell phone shot that you can't see jack in, and 2) you do a detailed 'how to' step by step and explain well what is going on and what you are attempting to do. After watching your video, I removed the back seat from my 2013 F-150 XLT, first try. Thanks.

[@dougmasters3875]

Thanks, glad I helped.

[@rickrusselljr938]

Great video watched 4 others and couldn’t figure them out. Your method is perfect for F-150 extended cab. Mine is 2011

[@timherget7960]

Absolutely the right way to do the video. You show how it works so you can drive it blind!! I had the same experience as you, watched a few videos but they didn't show the key!

[@dianepulley5935]

Doug, I'm Diane's husband, James. Thanks so much for the info. Last winter window was froze up and I didn't realize it and attempted to open rear window and something went wrong. Remote operation stopped working and I had to let window unthaw and then was able to manual push closed. Been putting off looking into and now started and see that the rear upper seat back has to be removed to even look into problem. How in the world do you remove rear seat upper section. Now I know. Thank You!!!!!!!!

[@philwill30]

Kid you not, without this I wouldn't have been able to figure this out. AWESOME VIDEO

[@dougmasters3875]

Glad I could help.

[@Dipsy75560]

You, sir are a Time saver! Watched other videos, only to fail to get the seat out! Watched your video and "Pop", seat successfully removed!

[@chrisvaughan967]

Yes, yours is the best video. Could be shorter, but yours is the best.

[@johndentondavid]

Thank you for showing us. The process is so easy after you explained how it worked.

[@dougmasters3875]

Glad I could help.

[@cookiejar2637]

I really appreciate you film the struggle most guy stop recording I struggle every time I work on my truck and yes you did help me thanks

[@tonylively579]

Thanks so much I could not have done this project without your video.

[@iacobschultz5084]

Just removed the back bench seat from my 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 Supercab. I followed your instructions perfectly, but I have one thing to add to your video that I think would make it even better and it saves some time and also you can use both hands in front instead of one hand on a long regular screwdriver with one hand attempting to reach behind/under seat.Send me a message and maybe we can collaborate on another new video. Thanks for the help Doug. Have a blessed day.

[@buckaroo550]

Hey Doug, dismiss the negative comments, this is indeed a great video, your vid is by far better than any one I watched. Good job keep up the good work.

[@jeffbegor4421]

Thank you for taking the time in posting this video.. WELL DONE

[@chanmiller32]

Thanks! I’ve been fighting that for too long. The other videos don’t show the details you did. Once I watched the video it took 2 mins to have it out

[@johnvernier8635]

I owe you big time , I wouldn't have figured this out without this video. Thank You !!

[@dougmasters3875]

My pleasure, glad I could help.

[@bdahar]

this is the best video on youtube lol i been trying to figure this out for days THANK YOU!

[@toddmiller5951]

That's was a lot of help better then the 2 I watched before thanks

[@melaniegroendyke765]

Thank you!!! Every other video gave me vague information that I couldn’t follow or know what I was looking for. Yours was spot on, especially in what I was feeling for and how I needed to maneuver the tool. Tip for others...don’t have a long enough screw driver? The knife steel (sharpener) from my kitchen cutlery set worked great! (2012 Ford F-150 Supercab)

[@cammacgregor9354]

I'd have never gotten it without your help. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@craigslistrro709]

Worked like a charm.. Now my new seat covers fit better. Thank You.

[@bkdexter79]

Very helpful video. I never would've gotten this seat removed until I watched it. Best advice...don't give up! lol Thank you!!

[@dangarreau7505]

OUTSTANDING!!!! It took a long time to find this video. Others had a different (easier) version but it was not the model of back seat that I have. THANK YOU!!!

[@maricelamagana1764]

Showed my husband this video and worked much easier thanks 😊

[@generalization]

Definitely the best video out there on this, thank you lots.

[@ShaneNelson-tx7bb]

Awesome awesome video. I watched many, but your really explained what I was searching for, and nailed it. Great job and thought through video.

[@dougmasters3875]

Glad I could help.

[@shonuff3403]

#100... congrats my friend. Thanks for the video

[@sam1ee]

Thanks for the information and the laughs around 9:00 - 10:30 minutes! Great video, no the best. All the other videos make you dangerous. This video shows you how to actually do it.

[@johnnewcomb9818]

Worked on my 2010 Raptor SCAB. Love this video, great job!

[@billymathis6712]

Dude I've watched three others. Didn't help. I watched yours head it off in maybe one minute or two. Thank you

[@jdnixon561]

This is the first video that helped me do this. Thank you sir!!!

[@dougmasters3875]

My pleasure, glad I could help.

[@kevinwoodkw]

Thank you, Very well explained, I get that its not simple. But knowing where to pry is the key.

[@dirtberger4533]

Oh man,thank you so much, that's the ticket. Dang,so glad I saw your video.

[@billiamc1969]

Thanks for showing this...I have been trying for years...

[@srf514]

OMG! Ford, what a horrible design! Thank you Doug for providing the definitive video for how to remove the backseat, took me about 10 min to get the first one unclipped, and about 30 seconds to get the other one.

[@canoedad]

Great video and thank you for showing the way the seat locks. I found a shorter screw driver worked better as you can tilt it up easier to gain access to the hole. But great insight as to get the seat off.

[@1kzrider]

DUDE TY.. I bought one them quick release straps for my truck to be able to use. And could not get to access behind seat to see pin to release to install part.

[@snoona001]

Good video doug you are one of the only 2 videos that shows how it is done. At first i thought it had the release latch but could not figure out how to get to it. I watched a lot of videos that claimed that the 2009 -2014 had the latch what a bunch of idiots that title their video like this just to get hits, Thanks for you explanation.

[@dougmasters3875]

The SuperCREW has a latch, the SuperCAB does not. Don't see a good reasonnto make them different but they did. ...

[@timolishesness]

Very helpful man!

[@MrJeast]

Thanks, this was the most helpful video on youtube for this subject

[@dougmasters3875]

Thanks, glad I could help.

[@Envirotech]

Best video!! I've been having an annoying squeak (I now /know/ it's middle passenger seatbelt) for so long, driving me crazy.. Been wanting to get in there to figure out where it's coming from (I thought the back of the seat!! or like on my old 2000 one of the bolts holding down the seat belt ends) and the other videos never really explained it as well as you do. There really is a trick to it to get that screwdriver in, maybe just luck, but eventually I got it! I might 'route' out a bit of the foam to make a clearer path under and on the seat back, no one ever looks under there anyways. :P Thanks!

[@muttBunch]

I have a 2011 F150 Supercab and I'll tell you what...I absolutely am a Ford guy, will never buy anything else, but...2 things that have annoyed me the most about doing an aftermarket head unit and an amp, 1.) The fact that they do not provide a 12v ACC wire off the factory radio harness like they have for 30+ years and 2.) The difficulty of getting that back seat out. I'm baffled by those 2 things. Last, thank you so much for this.

[@alejandrosanchezhinojosa1404]

I appreciate you uploading this video.

[@j5326c]

Well done! Especially the part where he wipes the sweat off his brow....that's real and what happens when we do this stuff...never as easy as it seems.....thank you!, Just wish I saw this version before I wrestled with the tab without any tools.

[@iHernandez620]

What kind of sub box do you have ? I’m having a hard time finding one !

[@chadcurrent1645]

I'd like to know also. Definitely not the boxes from half price car audio! There information is horrible and they won't let you return boxes... $60 down the drain.

[@vdub6873]

Great video...let us see how amps r mounted!!!!

[@stephengbaker7668]

Thank you, I would have probably taken a SawsAll to it if not for your video. 😁

[@pekarb1us]

Thanks for the video. I found it helpful.

[@Jonedcc]

Thank you super helpful! Off topic, what stereo equipment did you install? I'm looking to do the same thing.

[@tvr12speed3]

Thank you! I would have never figured this out without your help! Any tips to getting it back in? The top plastics clips are fighting me to get back in the slots of back wall on me

[@chasewilliams3123]

You are amazing my friend. Thank you so much. Did you cut the carpet for the sub amp?

[@russren]

at about the 4:00:00 mark, what is the strap for? it's standing up in front of the rear glass. what's it's purpose??

[@SteveB2601K]

What if I used a screwdriver that has a bend in it? Thank that would work better? Good video.

[@albertchavez9628]

Helpful, same thing I use a flathead I do auto glass seat has to be removed to do the back glass on those trucks. Pretty much I think a bad design. Everyone at work comes to me when they get one of those, even though I know how to they are still a beast

[@jeffreycaraballo468]

There's no better explanation. Thanks for taking time of your life to do this video. It like Ford it's making it worst by the day. #Fordhater

[@nickbennin5161]

Great video very helpful!

[@ameliademarco8203]

great video i did exactly like you suggested worke great i have a 2014 f150 supecab thanks again

[@dougmasters3875]

Thank you, glad I could help.

[@davidbertrand6884]

3-8-2021.....I need to install an upright child seat front facing. Initially I needed to know how to remove the headrest of an 2014 Ford F-150 Supercab. Always thought the rear seat folded forward but had no clue. I saw one other video, where a guy just used his hand instead of screwdriver. 👍🏻

[@badandylaoc]

Had the reverse problem! Bought the truck without the head rests, needed to replace them for forward facing booster seated kiddos.

[@ryanurukalo4347]

Great video! Great help!

[@ant2717]

As soon as I was about to give up it worked. For me, I had to wiggle the screwdriver and upper corner of the seat and it popped. -2005 stx

[@dougmasters3875]

Glad it worked out.

[@mishalavy7063]

Worked on 2011 f150 supercab. thank you.

[@dougmasters3875]

My pleasure, glad I could help.

[@generalmaintenance7952]

Thanks hopefully you can help us with more Ford puzzles

[@rodmissoes]

Well this for sure helped me to remove my rear seat.

[@def1791]

It’s funny Ford don’t make a “special” tool for this and charge $100 for it. Why would they design such a terrible inaccessible hook mechanism for this. Thank you for explaining and then showing how to do this job.

[@uparms]

Good Job, great detail.

[@dougmasters3875]

Happy to help!

[@pikehk]

Great video thanks for the help.

[@JefeHones]

You have 2 amps and a processor behind the seat? No overheating issues?

[@dougmasters3875]

Nope. :-)

[@calisdad3]

WHOO-HOO ! You are the ONLY guy who got it right. Thanks !! Now- how do I get all this blood off my seats? ;-) (it was a bit scratchy.)

[@snoona001]

Peroxide will get the blood out

[@robertbarcus1963]

I wanna put an amp back there thanks for the video on seat removal

[@geovanymm90]

wow nice job on the video very easy the way you explain thank you so much

[@dougmasters3875]

Thanks, glad it helped!

[@manyhr13]

From the beginning... How u leaned??

[@crazycm2]

Was literally about to cut the damn thing out with a Sawzall. I made up cuss words trying to get this ridiculously designed seat out.

[@brockfijal9244]

Thank you this was helpful..

[@mghippie]

Thanks, exactly the info I needed.

[@wakatheplatypus8737]

Do the bottom parts come out separately?

[@dougmasters3875]

I don't know, that was not in the scope of this project.

[@daveh5467]

HELPED ME. thanks. its exactly like he said . takes time to find that stupid hole.. but never the less I got it.. thanks

[@josecorral6062]

problem finding the hole, put some hair in it.

[@douglasmichel6361]

Jose Corral : that’s what she said
