Thread: Unbolting second row seats in 110

Worked it out, not that hard in the end, just fold the seats forward and unbolt the bracket from the floor.

Now I know where the kids sweets end up when they drop them.

Dyna mat it under the rubber mate

I did think about that, but don't find the noise level an issue so decided to wait for now. I went for 5mm rubber, so a bit thicker than the original. Also did the 2nd row floor. Do you need to modify the retaining clamps to fit the extra thickness of the dynamat?

Nope, the Defenders 'flexible' specifications cope with a layer of Dynamat no worries at all.

Can i ask how many bolts and if its possible to take the seats out or put them in quickly?
I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my TD5 110 and its something i do often. I use drilled bolts with pins instead of nuts and can remove the seats in about 30 seconds.

The PO of my 130 installed 110 rear seats so they fold down

To remove take your trusty hitachi impact driver with a torx bit - buzz out a few bolts for the seat and lift out, nuts are captive and its all too easy.
May not be 30 seconds but wouldnt be much more than that.
The seats are pretty heavy from memory 45kg for the double and 25kg for the single when I weighed them for shizzle

Lotsomucho space with the seats removed

I was toying with idea, but worries about anyone actually sitting them and them coming adrift.
Are you able to show me the types of pins you used?
Is this safe?

Thanks

6 small torx screws gets the plastic cover off the base. Then 6 large torx bolts to take the base off the floor. Seat needs to be litter forward to do this

There are also front fixing points where the seats hinge forward. I didn't have to undo these as the mat is cut around them. Looks like 4 more large torx bolts and then nuts on 4 more bolts to get everything out.

The first bit would take no more than 5 mins.

Another thing I learnt, a cuppa chup stick chewed flat at one end is great for running into corners and joins to get dirt out. The kids had dropped one amongst the other mess.
