Hi how do i remove the rear seats on a 2 door. Is it the 18mm bolts that hold the seatbelts in place. The lower part I've removed. Its just the upright part of back seat left. Thanks

Hello there Matt

There are 2 10mm bolts, in the corners that are on a piece of flat rod about 10x100mm, then lift up and out.

Sorted now, its on a coupe they were hiding under the rear door cards it was a 12mm bolt on each side. It confused me because i couldn't see them until i folded the vinyl at the edge of the door card back. Convertible ones are a lot more straight forward.

cheers matt

Yes good thanks Matt, hope you are too.

Its very strange isn't it, people rarely have just one e30, they usually come back for more :D
