Default Help, backseat removal

I just unbolted my backseat and went to pull it out, but.. the seatbelts are still attached. The screws are a weird * star shape and I can't unscrew them. I just pulled my spare and jack out, I really want this seat out too, please help thanks

Remove the seat and belts together. Thoes torx bolts use locktite and don't come out very easy. Plus the belts w/the ratcheting thing (don't know the proper name) are pretty heavy. No point in having seat belts if you have no rear seat.

Really? My torx bit set was $45. But those are the ones you fit on a socket. You better get a good grip on a single bit if you want to break the seat belts loose.
