Technical Fiorino seat removal

[matthewcb]

Does anyone know how to remove the front seats from a Fiorino van?

The white rails appear fixed to the vehicle and don’t unbolt, unlike the rails on modern vehicles

I have some corrosion on the floor pan which I need to weld to keep the old beast running for a few more years.

Thank you

I have now noticed that I have to knock the metal lugs back flat which are located at the end of the slide bar, this will then allow the seat to slide out once unbolted at the front

If you have the time, take a few photos as you do it and create a guide

My repair guide tells you to first undo the two bolts in the front, then slide the seat back and to then use a large screwdriver to push the bar away from the rail (see photo) when it hits the stop.
They suggest doing it with a helper who can push the seat while you lift the bar. I did it by myself and it was really hard, but the rails on my car where very gooed up at the time.
