Aftermarket Spare Tire Kit for 2024 Prius Prime

Good info, thanks.

What is the best way to pull up the rear seats without bending or damaging them?

 

Grab it slightly after the curve begins on each end. It's just a plastic clip on each side that clips into the base. It requires some force but not too much.

 

It's also hooked at the back, so don't get too aggressive trying to pull it out after disengaging the two clips. I've always had the rear seat backs off before pulling up the bottom, so I don't know how accessible the hook location is with them still installed. The seat bottom has the loop and one of the brackets bolted to the floor has the hook.
