Question What size bolt is this?? [Pic]

My dog pissed in the back seat so I took out the bottom part with no problem but there are big f***en bolts on the back part of the back seat and my 50 pc ratchet set dose not even go that big..I need to know the size of the bolts so I know what size tool I need to remove these big ass bolts!!

sorry the lighting sucks so bad this was the best pic I could get of the bolts.

okay the pic is hard to tell but i have had my back seast out MANY times!
so you say you took the lower seats out right? and now your trying to get the split seats out?
if so you take a flat head screw driver and on the sides closest to the plastic you put it down there and pust the locking flap out and the seats with come right out.
now if your gonna do it the way you want to wher eyou unbolt the rail the seats clip into there are four 15mm screws and your power cord for your battery runs thru there so you have to unhook your battery.

I wish i had my car here so i can show you what i mean.

on the outside of each 1/2 of the seat, at the bottom is where it clips in, you have to pull the outter seat in so you can see them, once you see them take your screw driver (flat head) and push the flap towards the window and pull up on the seat, its easier said then done.

look for the How to on dropping weight out of the cobalt, it shows how to take seats out. You don't need to take screws out. Maybe I will MS Paint a picture for you.

https://www.cobaltss.net/gallery/fil...led_310709.jpg

fold the seats down. There is a clip on the far edges of the seat. It's black and hard to see. Stick a flathead screwdriver in there and push the top of the clip towards the exterior of the car. The seat will pull up when you do this. It's weird to figure out the first time. One you unclip both side the seats fold up in a V shape and come out.

you have to pull up on one side where the clip is, the metal bar that is bolted down has to pins coming off it in the middle witch slides into the seat, ones the pins are pushed in and the seat is lifted up out of the holder (sometimes the pins will clip in again) you slide the whole seat to the other side of the car and bang its out.

No you don't push the clip down you pry it away from middle, towards the window.

Look at my picture. insert flathead screw driver then pry outward. Don't press down.

I would swing by a pet store to see what they use on carpets and things like that. Probably find something that will remove it and be safe on the fabric
