Nice man I appreciate you giving me ideas for my cooper build

[@wallacem100]

I really appreciate the hard work you put into making this video, THANK YOU. I watched more than a few rear seat removal videos, and yours is by far the best!! The very clear video angles as well as the included Torx sizes were very helpful. I keep watching it to make sure I get things right. For example, I watched people just pull the seat bottom hard forward to remove, I knew there had to be a 'catch' somewhere, watching you press the middle/back down and push forward easily had the seat just pop/fall out. Thanks again !!

I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge my work, much respect! Yea, I try to include as much details as possible. Thanks for watching.

thanks - been thinking about removing my rear seats on my 2013 miini. I will probably leave the bottom of the seats in for awhile and see how it goes. that way if someone needs a ride they have at least a seat [not a seat back] and a seat belt [maybe]. Plus all the links to tools is very handy. I really enjoyed this.

Any reason you didn’t use MDF?

[@CraftyWorkshopBuilds]

Yea, MDF will swell if it gets wet. Not that I plan for it to get wet, but the ply is more durable for outdoor use.
