Removing back seats (how to?)

[Hawk]

Going to my first RWYB at York on Monday with the Clio, its a standard car and I was thinking to lose a bit of weight for the day, is it just the 2 bolts under the plastic box section in the boot for the uprights and the bolts in the rear footwells for the bases? Are there any problems refitting?


Is it worthwhile for me to remove the back seats, parcel shelf, jack, tyre foam and engine cover or not?

Anyone else going, any 197s?

Bottom part of seat just lifts out after you have tipped them forward. The back part is bolted at the outside ends if i remember correctly, and it is just in a funny clip type thing in the middle.
Hope that helps. It is an easy job anyway, you will see when you do it.

You may need to use a fair bit of WD40 as they are exposed to the elements on the underside of the car.

Nope, in middle of the seats theres the black and gold star key bits next to each other. Gold one stays in, as it slides under it, but the black ones weak as cheese.
