   Its worthwhile stripping out but unless your really commited to losing weight you wont have much of a gain.

   just loosing the rear seats/trim isnt going to make much difference apart from making your car noisey, cold and uncomfortable imo like whats already been said unless your going full out i wouldnt bother

    You will save the most weight replacing the front seats but then you have the inconvenience of having to use harnesses.
    The back seats never really weigh much at all..
