Removing the rear seat from an Audi A3 model P8 is a very simple task that can be done independently. All you need is a 13mm Torx key. Go to the back of the vehicle and remove the lower cushions by pulling them out, then tilt the seat backrest and remove the plastic cover.

Once the cover is removed, use the T13 key to unscrew the bolt that secures the backrest. After extracting the first seat, you can continue with the removal of the others, following the same previous instructions.

Reinstallation is slightly more complex as you will need to insert the seat belts, but the steps remain the same.
