Rear Seats
I've had a quick scan through but cant find a previous post, has anyone removed the fold down seats?

I'm away this weekend with the lads, but 3 people and kit for a few days walking/drinking just wont fit.

Just wondering if its a 5 min job to remove/replace

Cheers

In a 110", last row removal takes more than 5 mins. Haven`t seen a 90 setup.


Bolts are ultra-tight, so you need good quality torxs. I recommend you spray them with WD40 or so before. Puma 110" SW

Took me longer than I expected - there are 4 torx into captive nots for the floor/seat support mountings which are a bit fiddly due to the cut outs in the carpet, and I think it was 2 torx and a threaded stud (with the nut on the wheel arch side) for the seat brackets. Getting the covers off the brackets with their pathetic plastic screw fittings is a delicate operation if you want to reuse them, and as MK says, everything else can be very tight, especially if the ends of the torx screws have corroded at all - break out the WD40, or similar.

Took me around 20 nins to do one seat (which gave me the extra space I needed) and I've left it as a 6 seater for the time being - I just taped over the various holes in the floor and seat box/wheel arch as a temporary measure rather than screwing all the torx back in...now where did I put all the fittings...

Yep, best part of an hour to take them out. I suspect it will be longer to put them back!

Thanks for the advice all.

Thankfully I'd decided to leave them in place as 1 of the guys dropped out last minute. Rolling Eyes 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
