So I’ve brought some almond leather seats and door casings, I’ve done the fronts and casings but I’m stuck on the rear seats! I’ve got the bases but I just can’t do the uprights! Any tips would be appreciated

I take out the rear seat bases every 6 months, before I go on tour. I have never taken out the rear seat backs, as I fold them down to use as an extended floor.

Looking at it ...... it looks a big job, as the 'square hinge bar' has to come out.

Does this help ??



Looks like the 'Bar' 20 ...... needs to come out.

.

Yes that helps a lot! It looks like quite a big job, I’ll set aside Saturday and tackle it then! Thank you very much

Good Luck ......... I hope by Sunday your vehicle doesn't look like this ...

I did a search. Told the FL2 is the same as the Ford Focus. (after all it is a Ford design)

Yep that was the link I was just about to post, Ed. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,

Hello, did you manage to remove the bench seats?
I pulled the lever (L) in the attached picture but can’t seem to figure out if I need to press or push the lever (?) towards the rear end of the car as it says in the video.

Tried the method in video in the thread but the lever is too firm to push. Don’t wanna break it.

Thank you.

I’m in the same boat, a 2012 car upgrading to full leather. The video showing the screwdriver moving a lever - well the lever bit just doesn’t seem to be there on either my 2008 or 2012. The plastic contraption is the same but I can’t see the metal lever mechanism at all.

I even have a JLR guide by the green bit isn’t there. Any help appreciated.
