In this video tutorial, you will see how to remove the passenger seat in a first-generation Smart Fortwo, produced from 1998 to 2007. First, prepare the necessary tools for the seat removal: a Torx T45 key and a 17mm spanner. Remove the eight bolts securing the seat to the frame (four for each).

The rear bolts are positioned in the same locations for both seats, while the front ones are slightly different. Unscrew the bolts with a Torx T45 key, then remove the seatbelt by simply sliding it out of the slot above the seat and unscrewing the bolt below with a 17mm spanner.

Now you can remove the seat from its position.

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.
