In this tutorial, we will see how to remove the front seats in the Skoda Octavia, a process that is extremely simple and quick. Before proceeding, let's open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid accidental airbag deployment.

We start by opening the door on the side we will be working on, then we move the seat back and, using an M10 wrench, we unscrew the two front bolts of the brackets. Next, we move the seat forward, unscrew the rear bolts as well, and disconnect the indicated connector.

At this point, all that’s left is to remove the seat from the cabin.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
