Touring Rear Seat Removal

Post Tue Nov 08, 2022 1:27 pm

Can anyone advise on how to remove the upper part of the rear seats in a touring? I've removed the lower bench and the side bolsters, but am embarrassingly stuck with the rest

Cheers

Remove the side bolster, small 10mm bolt at the bottom and it lifts up, hooks in at the top, may need to slide up the belt guide.

fold one seat back forward approx 45 degrees (maybe a bit further) lift it up out of the slot at the outer hinge, pull it forward slightly and slide it off the centre join.

Repeat for the other side.
