I was able to removal the bottom cushion with ease, but I'm having some difficulty with the backs. Does anyone have any beta??

Thanks

if it's like the b6, there should be one bolt in the middle under a cover, iirc

... this will expose a Torx bolt. Remove bolt, remove plate holding seat back pivots in place, be sure all electrical plugs are unplugged and cable ties are released, lift seat backs up at pivot side first then slide off hinge pins that are on outboard side of the car.

- On vehicles with seat heaters, lift seatbench far enough so that electrical harness connectors can be disconnected.

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal.

Note:

The technical design of the rear Recaro seats is identical to the design of the rear seats with split rear backrest.

The rear Recaro seats are distinguished only by covers and cushions from standard seats.

The two front mounting grommets (-1- in picture) are supposed to be replaced each time you remove/install the seat.

Thank you for the tips. I removed them last night in about 5 minutes. I didn't relize how easy it would be. I now have the airbag indicator on the display. I'll get rid of that next week.

how much does the back seats weigh?

4rings racer

The reason I wanted to remove them was because a little birdie told me they weighed somewhere in the vicinity of 42lbs. After the bottom cushion was removed I thought this to be impossible, as it is light as paper, but come to find out all the weight is in the backrests. stay tuned
