Rear seat removal - what am I missing?

Afternoon all

Just trying to remove the 6th and 7th rear most seats. All the bolts our, bar one (on each side) which appears to be inaccessible due to the mechanism being in the way. All the threads on here say it's easy, but how on earth do you get to these bolts!!! Arrrghhh!!

Thanks

Pic of the offending bolt would be more than useful. I’ve just put the rears back in, some bolts are only accessible when the seat back is in the right position. Thumbs Up

PS stating the obvious but the side trims need to be out to get the seats out:

Are you taking the seats out or dismanteling the seat unit? Those side trims (under the orange handled wrench) need to come out then the whole double seat unbolts and lifts out as one piece. Will find pics. Thumbs Up

Remove the silver tie down eyes, then lock the latch at the front as if a seat is there then the trim lifts out with poppers. This shows where the bolts are to lift either side of the seat unit out.

Ah ok - that makes sense!

I removed the load securing points, but couldn't see how the trim actually comes out on each side? I assume there are other securing points?

I'm removing the reat seats - that's the plan!!

Many thanks

The trims need a bit of a tug but be careful at the front end, that’s a bit more complicated with the bar fixing bit and spring release bit.

Imagine these as flat then that’ll show you what they look like ilifted out. Having had a set of removed row 3 seats in the bedroom (under the bed) then dining room, I hadn’t taken a single pic. Embarassed
