Removing rear seats

[jonbarrett]

Rear speaker is playing-up but one of the screws holding it in is hidden by the rear seat. Any idea how to remove the rear seats?

Sorry Jon, can't help you. But I'd assume the bolts will be under the car. Which ones they are though, I couldn't say.
Good luck.

They are bolted through the body work.

Seat backs have 2 bolts that come out in the wheel arch and 2 that you get at via the helmet holder.

For the seat squab I believe they can be got at from underneath the car.

The bolts are attached to the seat and protrude through the body work. The external ones may be a rusty mess but don't cut them off unless you absolutely have to as I suspect you would have to remove the trim on the seat to replace them.

Thanks for the info, off to the garage I go.

Now I think about it I'm not convinced there are two bolts accessed via the helmet holder hole. I think all 4 are from within the wheel arch.

It looks like there is one at the top and two at the bottom of the seat back all protruding through teh front face of the wheel arch.

You can silicone the squabs back down, far easier than trying to bond bolts to the trim.

Perhaps it's too late now but, if it's not, don't forget to take pictures of the job.

We'll possibly all be asking the same question in the future.
