Rear seats bolted in?

[giryan]

I'm struggling to remove my rear seats, I've removed the back, worked out how the two clips under the sides work, and unzipped the seatbelt holes and poked them through.
But something is holding the seat base down onto the transmission tunnel, but I can't feel a clip or anything.
Any ideas? I've tried to search online, but almost every thread I've seen is just US people derailing questions and asking to buy the seats

Found this video

But it really doesn't show anything holding the centre down :/

There's two horrible clips under the front of the bench where the lowest parts are (where your thighs would be if usable lol)


Give it a good tug up under each lower seat portion and kind push toward the rear of the car at the same time and it should come out

Even try side one at a time, usually easier first time if they haven't been out for a while

Hmm, I'll have to take a pic, it's definitely something else.
I can lift both sides up a lot, and see those clips, and yet the very middle over the transmission tunnel is still firmly attached.
I wonder if either something has been added at some point, or something attached from below, which goes into the seatbase? :s

Weird. Shouldn't be anything else on them, and its all foam so nothing firm there, unelss it's been glued or something?

My old ones lol vvvv

There are two more at the top corners, top of the last pic, but don't think they'd stop them as you're finding

Got the answer! :/
The foam had basically welded itself to the floor pan! It's slightly damp under there and the metal supports inside the seat foam are obviously rusted so it's been like that for ages.
