piece of piss. Front seats are 2 bolts on the runners, then slide the seat forward and tilt. Make sure you unplug the airbag connector under the seat.

Rear bench is a few bolts holding it to the body work, and the seat belt anchor bolts.

Just be careful with the anchor bolts with the rear they me be seized and can be rounded fairly easy due to the angle of how you get the Torx bit in.

They were from a 5 door the lying fuckers. Front sestsvfont tilt. My faukt shoukd of checked and the rear seat pan is diff dimensions and brackets are diff I had to change the brackets. Dont know how im gonna do rear seat. Chop old fixings off

grips, and a lot of sweat and swearing

Sjdickso

So don't the front seats have tilt on them?

The last bolt rounded, took me and Matt sweating in 30C both pulling with some small mole grips on the head of the bolt to get it out lol.

Sjdickso

Just beat me to it Matt.

z22_cariad

No tilt :-(
Just the bottom seat U looking brackets to do. Do I need to take them off other seat or can I just cut the big ones off the leather one n leave it

Sjdickso

You still putting them in even with no tilt or do you not use the back? I am not sure what to advise with the fitment / conversion from a 5 door to 3 door sorry.

z22_cariad

They slide forward enough vto get in the back plus its not used a lot.
