As I couldn't find a procedure online to help me remove/install some 7 seats, I thought i'd write one up.
Tools! - Socket set (10mm, 12mm 14mm) - Plastic knife (or similar fine prying tool) - Torx screwdrivers (T25) Procedure! This is for removal, just simply reverse all instructions for fitting. 1. I started with the passenger side. Flip the rear seats down (the ones with the 60/40 split) for easier access. 2. Undo the top seatbelt-to-car bolt. 14mm. It will come off with its yellow washer. ![]() ![]() 3. With that off, you can now move on to the actual seatbelt roller/retractor. At the front of the boot area, on both sides, you'll see a trapezium shaped panel wit 3 holes in it. Pop a prying tool underneath it to separate it, and then slide/pull it towards you to release it. ![]() 4. You can now see the roller. In order to get to it, first remove the 2 torx T25 screws pictured, then slide the metal clip off. This is used to secure the 2 attached large trim panels together. ![]() ![]() 5. Separate the rear seats armrest, give it a good tug towards the front of the car to release the clip, and then lift it upwards to remove. ![]() 6. Once you've done this, you can remove the B panel trim piece, between the rear door glass and boot glass. Start at the top of the car, and gently pull it away from the car, until it separates. ![]() ![]() 7. At this point, I removed the trapezium trim from the seatbelt - there is a small gap in the middle horizontal bar - use this to remove the trapezium piece. ![]() 8. Unfortunately the large rear boot side panels also need to come out. Start by getting the speaker cover off, a small prying tool will help here. ![]() 9. Pop your hand in between the glass and the panel, and starting from the rear speaker area, work your way along the panel, releasing the clips. ![]() 10. With a bit of wiggling, and patience, this whole panel will eventually come away. ![]() 11. One bolt for the roller, and out it comes. ![]() 12. Repeat for the other side. ![]() 13. Remove the boot side panels (get your finders underneath and give it a good yank) lift up the 7 seat, and fold it back all the way. ![]() 14. You can also see the seatbelt anchor bolt here - remove this also, and the seatbelt mechanism should now be completely free. ![]() 15. Now to remove the seats - This will give you access to the 4 10mm bolts holding it to the floor. Once undone, slide it towards the front of the car and lift it out. At this point, I also removed the smaller boot panel, by lifting it to vertical and lifting it out. ![]() 16. Removing the spare wheel shows the seat belt holster (and the plastic dish) ![]() 17. Remove the dish, and you can now undo the holster (14mm and 10mm I think!) ![]() 18. Which leaves you with a very empty boot and a pile of stuff! ![]() Hope that helps! Link to original thread
