How to remove the rear seats in the Skoda Octavia?

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part: Seat

In this tutorial, we can see how to remove the rear seats in the Skoda Octavia, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we open both rear doors and the trunk door, then we grab the seat of the sofa, separate it from the base by pulling it upwards and release the two brackets by pushing it towards the right side of the vehicle. We then lower the backrests by operating the respective levers, using a flat-tipped screwdriver to release the two side pins and remove the backrests from the cabin. To install any replacement parts, simply follow the reverse procedure.
