How to remove the rear seat of the Skoda Fabia

Model: Skoda Fabia Mark2, 5J - Years 2007-2014
Part: Rear bench seat

In this video we can see how to remove the rear seat of a Skoda Fabia; if we need to increase the space in the already spacious trunk of our car, here's what we need to do: first remove the parcel shelf, then proceed to remove the rear seats, flipping them over and removing the hooks that anchor them to the base. To remove the backrests, we will need to fold them, set aside the seat belts and, with a screwdriver, operate on the simple mechanism next to the wheel arch; then simply pull and rotate it towards us to remove it. To remove the largest part of the seat, we will need to remove the central seat belts, removing the 17mm screw at the base (we will then need to be careful when putting it back, tightening it according to the specifications with a torque wrench).
