Hi guys
Does anyone know how to remove the back bench on the 9n3
Thanks
Tony

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.

Solved
Thanks guys

Was pushing the latch back but wasnt sure what to do about the bit that sticks out!

Thanks again

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!

going on a 1000 mile road trip round scotland with camping gear so want as much room and little weight as possible haha

Come on Andy aint hard ...

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 it

Thought it might but with my luck with f*****g about with cars it would never be seen again!
