Hi Dave, doing that was enough! forgot about the wires for the seat belt warning light and when I lifted the seat out fortunately they unplugged without damaging!!!
It is nice being able to move the seats from outside the car to access the rear shelf though, again thanks, without the photo kicking me into action I wouldn't have attempted it.
(shame the factory skilled craftsmen can't do that though) You'll be making another set ready for the new car?
