2023 Trailblazer rear seat removal and installation instructions

Hey guys, I noticed this has been asked for in another post, so I thought it would be easier to make this post for easy referral. If you want to remove or install the rear seats in the 2023 Trailblazer, I hope these instructions will help you. It’s always good to have clear steps laid out, right? Let’s make this simple for anyone who might need it in the future.

This is great, but can anyone explain how to actually get started with the removal? Like, what tools do I need?

You usually just need a socket wrench and maybe a flathead screwdriver. It’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if I needed anything special. Is it difficult to take the seats out?

Nah, it’s not too hard. Just make sure you follow the steps closely, and it should go smoothly.

I’m curious about the installation part too. Is it similar to the removal process?

Yeah, pretty much. Just reverse the steps you took to remove them. It helps to have a second person to guide the seats back in place, though.

Has anyone done this themselves? I’d love to hear any tips or tricks you might have.

I did it last weekend. Just take your time and don’t rush. It really helps to have a good plan before you start.

That’s solid advice, thanks! Did you run into any issues?

Nothing major, just had to figure out how to get the clips off, but once I did that, it was smooth sailing.

I’m really looking forward to giving this a shot. Is there a video tutorial or something that might help?

I haven’t found a specific video for the 2023 model, but checking out general tutorials on rear seat removal can be helpful.

@Mal
Got it, I’ll look for some general ones then. Thanks for the heads up!
