Piece of cake. Just pop off the plastic trim covering the bolts. I think it is a 15mm socket required. Unbolt. Replace bolts in car such as not to loose them. Drink Beer.

Hi guys,

i have to agree with blackdog. i recently had to do it to get more room in the back on a "one off" situation whereby i had to pick up a heap of boxes. there are only 4 sections of bolts / nuts to undo and lift the seats straight out. tops - 15 mins and about the same time to put them in. however advise the handbrake that it will take a good hour, after all, you cant rush those cold bundys !!!

Sweet, was literally going to post the exact same topic up tomorrow

Planning on removing the centre seats and making up an easily removable toolbox/shelf system. Sounds like it shouldn't be too difficult!
