Just flip the seat base up to the vertical, and then lift the whole thing upwards and it pops out. Reverse to clip it back in again
You can also pop the back rests out by pulling two R clips Jim, only takes the same time as removing the cushions.

This is what i was suggesting a bit further up when i suggested completely removing the back seats, cushions and back rests out.

They said "volvos can only take so much". They said "you better buy a smaller sofa". You have to get someone with a real van, like a Peugeot, a Renault or a Fiat!
They were wrong!

It could probably fit 2 easily. 2m, 3 person sofa bed.

None of them are real vans, certainly not the French stuff!

Glad you got it sorted anyway!
