Hi,

I couldnt get them off. I undid the 2 bolts at the front part of the seat but couldnt get the back part off!Do you slide it backwards to take it off?I tried that and wuoldnt come as there is some sort of stopper on the runners of the seat. Please help as at the moment my car stinks like a dump!!

We need AlexGS or someone who has done this recently.

But from memory, I think there is a small metal stop on the Uno's, which you can bend out, which will then allow you to slide the seat of the runners.

Exactly, theres a little metal tab in each track towards the back. Just use a slot head screw driver and a hammer to push them in (they are pretty strong so you need to hit them pretty hard). Then the seat slides back.

Other things to watch for:

• The seat fights back, just persist
• Sometimes the runner gets caught on the carpet, so try and keep an eye out for that.

Dont worry about pulling the tabs back out again (make the next persons job easier )

Thanks jjhepburn, that was exactly what I would have written but a) the forum wasn't working, and b) I was away
