Can you remove the rear seats

Post by mcbutler » Sat Jun 26, 2010 10:36 pm

Hi All,

Is it possible to remove the sliding rear seats completely?

If so how?

Thanks

Depends whether you want it to be permanent or temporary? You can unclip the covers on the "feet" front & back & unbolt the seat, very heavy, 2 man lift really. if you want to remove the runners, there's usually a bar in the end of the rails as well as the end plastic covers to remove to be able to slide the runners out once you've manouevered the carpet.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Pop off the covers on the front & rear of each leg. Undo the 17mm bolt at each corner. Now, simply life the seat out. You will need an assistant, and I'd recommend that you both have your weetabix. The seat is proper heavy.

If you want the sliders out too, remove the plastic end covers on the rails. You will find a pin going horizontally through the rail. Lift up the rear end of the carpet and you will see that the pins knock out. Remove them, and slide the trucks right out of the rails. You will need to push down on the release lever with a screwdriver or similar.

watch the white nylon guides dont break,they keep the trucks running square in the rails,and a bugg"" to get back in if they snap.
