Subaru Rear Seat Jackers (2024+ Crosstrek / Impreza / Soltra — Install Guide

Before You Start

• A helper is recommended for easier seat lifting.
• Tools needed: Socket wrench and T50 Torx bit.

Important Note

To prevent cross-threading, always start bolts by hand and verify they thread smoothly before tightening.

Step 1 — Remove Seat Bolts

1. Remove any plastic trim covers at the base of the seat, if equipped.
2. Remove both rear factory seat bolts using a T50 Torx bit.
3. Loosen the front seat bolts, but do not remove them.

Step 2 — Lift the Seat

1. Lift the rear of the seat upward.
2. Alternatively, have a helper pull upward on the headrest from the front of the vehicle.

Step 3 — Install Seat Jacker Spacers

1. Place the desired number of Seat Jacker spacers under the rear of the seat, between the seat rails and the vehicle floor.
2. If using a single Seat Jacker shim, install it with the through-hole side facing down.

Step 4 — Reinstall Seat Bolts

1. Apply Blue Loctite to the provided 50mm bolts.
2. Add the provided washer, if required.
3. Thread the bolts through the seat legs and into the vehicle floor. Start each bolt by hand and leave them loose for alignment.

IMPORTANT — ALIGNMENT TIP:
If the seat rail holes do not line up:

• Lift the seat rail approximately ¼ inch.
• Start the bolt a few threads by hand.
• Adjust the seat rails one at a time until the holes align.
• Never force or cross-thread the bolts.

Step 5 — Torque All Bolts

1. Torque both the front and rear seat bolts to 30ft-lbs.

Final Check

• Verify all bolts are properly torqued.
• Confirm the Seat Jacker spacers are seated correctly.
• Check bolt torque periodically after installation.

You're done! Enjoy the improved seating position.
