This is from memory.

- take out the seat of the back seat by lifting it at the front to un do the two clips. Once free of the clips pull it out towards the front seats and it is out.
- Undo the bolts at the bottom of the back of the seat on each side of the car. Be careful not to tear the vinyl / leather cards. *when putting these back in - do not tighten these too tight. They can easily be wrung.
- Once the bolts are out take the back of the seat out by lifting it up vertically. Dont pull it towards the front seats until it is loose of the hooks at the top of the seat.
- Seats out - you need to get the plastic trim at the point where the seat belt comes through the shelf. These just should just pop out when you pull them straight up.
- once they are removed from the metal bracket below the shelf should just lift out. You should be able to lift it at the front enough to go over the seat belt brackets, then pull towards the front of the car.
- when going back in - line up the 4 or 5 tags at the back of the cardboard with the slots in the bulkhead and do the points above in reverse order.
Be careful as it is only cardboard and you don't want to break it.

Good luck
