To remove the rear seats from a BMW 3 Series, you need to detach the pins located at the front of the seat bench so that it can be lifted and removed from its housing. Once the seat bench is detached, you can also unclip the pins that secure the backrest at the top, allowing it to be completely removed.

After removing the seat, you can install the new backrest and the new seat bench, securing them properly with the designated clips.
