The rear seats don't weigh much at all. I wouldn't expect you'd notice any difference with them out.

There will be no airbag errors if you take them out.

O_o in what world would it be anywhere near that?

it's a sheet of leather wrapped around stiff foam with a bit of plastic. for the seatbacks you have metal hinges, but those really don't weigh that much.

Please post photos.

55LBs of weight loss is a lot. I want to remove mine. With two fixed back race seats which generally save 40lbs each, you can get up to 130lbs weight savings.

55lbs is pretty good, considering the rear seats are almost worthless for people
anyway.
