How do you remove the rear seat of the Toyota Corolla XRS 2005?

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 2 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Seat

Ok, removing the rear seat of your car is not complicated but it requires a bit of patience and some time. Slide your hands under the front edge of the seat and pull it upwards firmly, there are two clips that should release with a nice click. Then tilt the cushion slightly and pull it forward to remove it. Now let's move on to the backrest, you will find bolts at the bottom, usually 12mm. Unscrew them and lift the backrest upwards to detach it from the upper supports. Be careful, it may be a bit stuck. Once free, remove it calmly. There you go, seat removed, now you can transport large items in your Toyota Corolla. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, I recommend contacting a specialized workshop.
