Yet another rear seat thread….

[Darren S]

So without resorting to cutting the stupid T40 bolt head off - is there any other way of getting the seats out?

I would have thought that either seat would simply pull apart when lifted out of its retaining lug towards the outsides of the car. Clearly it’s not that logical or straight-forward.

Does anyone know if the seats actually pull away from one another?

Cheers.

Buy something like these and hammer over the bolt?

Worth a shot I reckon! Cheers.

Or get someone to weld a nut on it?

 

[Twingo 1??]

Cut a slot in the top with a grinder, give it a tap with a hammer a few times and unscrew it with a screw driver.

Get a nut welded on it.

The threads on them are exposed underneath the car and will be rusted up.

The heat from welding will help too.

Will just need to stick a fire blanket over the seats to protect them.
