anybody care to enlighten me how the hell you remove the rear seat bench
i am aware of the 3 clips at the front edge of the seat and removed those easilly i am now trying to release the rear part of the seat which has either been glued or welded in it would seem there is some type of clip holding the outside of the seats but it doesnt appear to want to move either up or down the only other thing i can see is a bolt which holds the bracket to the body but this is obscured by part of the seat frame need to remove rear seat to enable me to thread wiring for rear camera thanks nath |

Don't know the D4 specifically, but the standard method on almost all cars is to remove the fixings below the front edge (often a bit hidden in carpet) and slide forwards.
Not sure if ISOFIX mounts can cause a problem, do you have those?

Yep, the angle grinder will do it, but you maybe better off just forgetting the 20p you lost down there

What sort of clips, where exactly and how did you reach and release them?

As mentioned previously, there are three clips towards the front of the bench which just release when lifted.
Then at the back of the bench, there are two hooks, one on each side of the bench. It's quite tricky to unlatch them. You need to press down on the rear of the bench whilst pulling forwards. This then unlatches the bench and it can be lifted out. To release the uprights, you need to first of all release a small multi cable wiring plug on each side of the floor under the rear bench. These are connected to the uprights. Once these have been released, there is one 16mm bolt holding the bottom of the uprights in place on each side. Release this bolt, lift the upwards and out. |
