How to Remove the Rear Seats of the BMW Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R52, R53, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Seat

Removing the rear seats is very simple and starts by opening the boot and unfastening the seat backs to fold them down; locate the pin in the centre of the two seat backs that locks the coupling mechanism; once unscrewed and removed, you can separate and remove the two seat backs, ensuring to align the pin on the body side that has a plug to align with the respective slot; once the seat backs are removed, you can unclip and remove the seat base by simply pulling it upwards.
