How do you remove the backseat? (to run amp cables)

[jason1987]

ive managed to get to the grommit on the "how to guide" that i saw on here, but im trying to find the rest of the route to the boot, does everyone go along the sill and under the seat? if so ive been trying to get the backseat up or off so i can run the cables, they say you pull and push back but i still cant get it out

Can't remember exactly, but I removed all the interior side trims and ran the wire up there, then lifter the corner of the seat and ran it through to the boot from there. IIRC it was a little fiddly but easily done in the end. I'll probably redo it with heavier gauge wire when I up the system in the boot.

At the front of the seat either side should be 2 rubber bungs, pull them off, and there is - think it;s 2 nuts, but being a pug probably 2 torx - undo and the seat base will pull out. Only takes couple of mins.

ive got the 2 screws off but the seat is still secured onto something, it lifts up from the front but the back is stuck down, this is what i cant do

I found the Haynes manual to be bang on for the job...

I have found out (after a lot of tugging, pulling. lifting and swearing) that there are 2 'mushrooms', 1 on the body floor under each seat, that locate into a ring on the bottom of the seat. You just need to get the right combination of tug, pull, hit and twist to get it off!

Just try lifting the front of the seat up away from the bolts and then give it a whack towards the back of the car, that should dislodge the seat from the mushroom.

This was very helpful to clean up a spill. Thanks
