15 min rear seat removal DIY

[Maverick]

I found a very fast way to take off the rear seats.
you won't hurt your hand, you won't go nuts with limited space.

the lower portion
of the rear seat is easy, pull them up and hear two popping sounds. unplug the wire connectors and things. you are done with that part, take it out of the car.

the upper portion

fold down the seats, you will see a Torx screw as shown below in the picture
it's between the two pieces of the upper portion seat

you can use a T27 or T28 to unscrew that. after the screw is out, wiggle the metal out piece.

then, raise the center of the each seat and slide it out doesnt matter what order.

after that, it's straight forward. use 11/16 inch socket to remove the side bolts. I forgot the size for other torx scres and bolts.
the side pieces are easy so no need to mention them. straight forward.
or you can keep the stock ones. A4 is the same as S4

you will be done in 15 minutes.

put them back is everything in reverse.

tighten up the brackets on the car first WITHOUT the seats. then slide the seat in(while the seats face downward) and put back on torx screw in the picture.

Damn, I didn't think someone would need a write-up for removing seats. Pretty much all rear seat cushions pop out and rest is just looking for the screws that hold it in

[Maverick]

well there are people who dont know.
I didnt know this in the beginning.
If you havent done seats removal, dont say shit here.
Pretend you know something while you dont. yeah right!!!!

If those people cant figure it out and need to read about it first they shouldn't be using tools at all.


My next DIY write up.

How to pump gas.


Very simple things like this just dont need a write up, even a quick search shows that there really hasn't been any people asking this question and this is most likely because those that need to remove their seats were able to figure it out on their own.

To add on to that, by the way you wrote it, I think you even made it more confusing

[AvanTTix]

easy there people, at least the OP took the time to take a pic and post some sort of a write-up... but you've got to admit that for a DIY, it's kind of light on pics and detailed instructions...

so for those of us who really like step-by-step pictorials, follow me for the rear seats, and then if you wonder, follow me for removing the front ones...

[NyteEscape]

hey...i didn't know how to do this until i read this thread...

i also can't tie my shoes though...

thanks Steph, your DIY guide on front seat removal was so clear and instructive.

to be honest, I didnt know the easiest way to remove and put back the rear seats. I wasted a few good hours then I found out a way.

whatever the others say, I dont care

OLD THREAD Revival -

Gutting my rear section of my AVANT, previous owner had a small
dog and im taking everything out to steam and deodorize.

I only want to take out the upper seats in the rear, butt cushions
can stay but in the Avant the back of the rear seats has the most dog scent.

Im not a handy dandy wrencher i got everything out but the rear top half
of the seats, Any DIY or tips before i spend 98 hours for no good reason.
