Hi Guys,

Can anyone shed any light on removing the rear seat?

Fronts came out no problem as did the rear bench but could'nt get the seat back to budge at all :x

Any help appreciated, do know if it makes a difference but its 90 model 4 door with aftermarket leather.

Thanks,
Simon.

right the rear should lift up i think, once there up there a bolt in either corner u remove and the seats are out

Can some one confirm this though as this applies to the 2 door version dont see y it would be any different in a 4 door

ok its easy

the bottom part just grab the front edge and pull upwards it will come straight out as it just pops onto 2 metal bits

the back part is held on with 2 10mm screws/bolts 1 behind each rear side panels
undo these then push the whole thing upwards to release it from 2 metal prongs behind it

5 minute job mate

good luck

Cheers for that, got the bottom out ok but it twas the backs that were the bugger.

Looked everywhere for screws/bolts but could'nt find any but knew there must be some as all the pushing, lifting, tugging and swearing did'nt help!

Will have another go tonight.

Cheers,
Simon.
