Rear Seat Removal

[raywong]

i need some

i know that a few of u have taken your rear seats out? just wondering if it's hard to do so? and can u give me a bit of advice with how to take it off?

thx a lot

Ray :)

there is four bolts, two when the seat is flipped up, remove these, put seat back down

then on the frontthere is two plastic covers near the centre, pull these both off and reveal the bolts, remove these and the seat will lift out

should take 5 to 10 mins

Hope this helps

simple enough job, if i remember correctly think they are 14mm just be carefull to use correct head, as ur round the nuts off otherwise which is what i nearly did

[Moffmo]

on mine (phase two) all you had to do was unbolt the two bolts at the front

(In case any phase 2 owners are reading this)

I only got 3 of the 4 bolts I took out back in but it seems safe enough and who's gonna check for them when I go to sell it?

did u have to give up due to arm ake

[Ryan1985]

Nah mate, threaded 1 of the bolts so I just gave up!

[Chuck04]

god knows what i was on when i put my rear seats back in, tried to take them out the other day.. that bolts not going anywhere <_<

[Ian 12b]

Excuse me for asking the obvious but why do you want to remove the rear seats <_<

[Ryan1985]

Makes it lighter mate, therefore quicker, the rear seats weigh a fair bit!

[raywong]

especially if i'm gonna go to snnta pod next week... and i dont wanna b the slowest car of the day :D

if i can manage, i'll even try to remove the passenger seat as well :P

thx for the advice ppl

be careful when pulling out the front seat.

There is a litle lead which connects to the seat (god knows why) maybe for the airbag or something. Make sure you disconnect that before ripping it out.

I didnt,almost broke it :/

Its directly under the seat should be a yellow adapter, cant miss it.
