Let's see how to remove the rear seats from an Audi A3 or an Audi A4: to remove the rear seat, we must first pull it out from the front edge; on each side we will find two rings that are attached to the floor of the car, and pulling them out, the seat will lift up. Once these elements are removed, you can release the backrest, to remove which a 30mm torx tip is needed, after lifting the trunk carpet and lowering the backrest of the rear seat, lift the plastic cover, and see the torx bolt between the sides of the divided rear seat.

After unscrewing the bolt, we can remove the metal clip that holds it in place, and the seats can be released and lifted freely.
