How Do I Remove Rear Seats?

[StevieGreenstuff]

As per title really.

I've got a fishing trip in a fortnight, first one since I bought the 172.

The seat bases come out really easily, and the seat backs just kinda slide out of their outermost mounts, so I was thinking that they must come out quite easily, but I'll be damned if I can see how to undo the middle pivot/mount.

Thanks.

The middle mount is bolted down and the seats won't come off the mount. The backs aren't quite as easy to remove for some reason, even though they look it.

It seems they're not really meant to fold flat either, the seat belt catch things foul on the seats and mess them up...?

From what I can see the idea is the bottoms lift up and the back drop down flat....ish. Seatbelts just have to lump it.

Yeah I ha his today. Laid the rear bench flat, and the seatbelt buckles marked the seats.

They must come out, but can't see what bolts I need to undo????
