Fold the rear bench down, in either far corner you'll see a metal latch with a 5mm notch in it, you use a screwdriver or similar in the notch to push the latch which releases the seat bar and lifts it up. Then slide the seat out of the other side. Repeat for the other side of the bench. HTH

And the bit you sit on is just hooked onto the floor. Fold the seat bases forwards and you'll see the metal hanger hooked into some loops which can be easily unhooked and removed.

Re: Quick Answer : Remove Rear Seats on 9n3
just had a prod around my rear seats as you do
i see the 5mm notches, then what do you do with them
prodded them with my key and they seemed pretty stiff so left them alone for now

Push them (either forward or back) and the latch that the notch is in will retract and lift out the backrest rod at the same time, which can then be lifted out. don't worry it's sturdy!

That latch... if you push it all the way back to get the bench out, if you wanted to put the seats back in how do you get the latch back out of the recess? Looks like it is going to disappear and a screwdriver can't pull it out

When you put the bench back in, as the knob bit goes in, it will pull the latch back over itandyc315 wrote:That latch... if you push it all the way back to get the bench out, if you wanted to put the seats back in how do you get the latch back out of the recess?
