This is the thread that keeps on Giving Smile .

Have just followed this guide and had an absolutely trouble free removal of my rear seats.

Thanks

And another one joins the club, just did this myself today. Why have I waited 7 years?! We’ve used the rear seats just twice in that time, yet ‘struggled’ for extra boot space on occasion so much more.

This is a brilliant mod, which like others I’m going to follow with a rear drawer install for space optimisation and security.

Munch90 makes a really great extra tip (especially for quickly learning DIYers like myself), get a wire brush and penetrating oil on the bolts and nuts underneath the bodywork the day before (24 bolt ends and 4 nuts in total).

This thread was invaluable, many thanks again.

K9 Transit make a great drawer unit, not cheap new but occasionally come up 2nd hand!

I'm putting mine back in today, with the seats I have a bag of bits from the removal, in the bag are two springs as pictured below, can anyone remind me where they go? I'm sure it will be obvious once i get going.

Reviving an old thread here but just want to say thank you for the helpful guide above.

Took me less than an hour to get mine out and that was just with basic hand tools and my mechanic knowledge goes about as far as IKEA furniture and mending bicycles.

Piece of cake.

Next plan once I’ve cleaned the surfaces of bits of old dog and hedgerow is to build a false floor across the arches so I can store my camping gear under it away from prying eyes.

Some of my bolts were quite corroded but with a bit of encouragement all came right out with no issues. Didn’t even need to give them a squirt with penetrating oil.

Happy days!
