Don't suppose anyone has removed their rear seats (leather)?

Just did a dry run in anticipation of the Dentman this coming Thursday.
Looks fairly straightforward except the seat back seems to have some sort of spring loaded mechanism incorporated into the seat.

Looks like you need some sort of forked tool (or a pair of pointy pliers! or maybe a ball joint separator) to pull/unload the hinge before popping it out??
(sorry didn't have a camera at the time)

Before somebody suggest it whilst they and the interior panels are out I'll be swapping the speakers for something better.

Just torx 40 & 6mm allen bolts from memory.

Thank Mr T.

For the record you need a Torx T40 (seat squab hinges) and T50 (seat back saftey strap). The seat back hinge is sprung loaded and still needs to be pulled back with something (used a big screw driver).

Removed all of the interior trim, I noticed some of the push fit fastners on the panels have deformed/shaved slightly.

Are these normally replaced before re-fitting the panels? (to stop rattle-y interior panels in the future)

No same fastners reused,use a trim removal tool to prevent breaking but some do bend so just bend back into shape.

Cool, ta,

You rock!:worship:

I use one like this but its made by snap-on,its expensive at £21 but its usefullness far outweighs its costs...........not to mentioned unhappy customers with scratched door panels!!
