OK I'll have another go, so when you say the base of the seat you mean the bottom bit i.e. the bit you sit on not the back of the seat you lean back on?
If this just pulls off what is connecting it to the car, how will I get it back on afterwards? Don't want it to keep coming off if its not screwed down??
Sorry for all the stupid questions, just really worried I'm gonna mess my car up as I havn't had it long
And the plastic cover I was talking about was in the boot, there is a black plasticy cover covering the back of the seats that was connected by 4 black plastic screw plugs, I popped these out and pulled the black plastic cover forward to reveal loads of bolts behind it, is this what I need to undo to release the back of the seats??
