Rear split seat removal

Post by Tony x » Mon Feb 04, 2013 11:07 pm

Hello,
Looking at replacing our current Bongo with another different spec' one.
Currently we're forever taking our rear bench seat out and putting it back in again.
Can anyone tell me if it is relatively easy and quick to remove the split rear seats - as in the ones that fold up to the side of the Bongo should we end up getting this model?
Thanks

Much easier to be honest
4 bolts per side and much lighter to lift out

Thanks for the replies - It's good to know they come out easily. We sometimes need all the room we can get - Have had 2 x motocross bikes, gazebo, pressure washer, assorted camping gear, 2 kids and 2 adults in there in the past.

Two bolts if you leave the brackets on, four if you take those off instead. Easier to take the two large bolt off first I find then whip the twp brackets off with no weight on them. i haven't tried it any other way though I admit. There are also a couple of cross head Screws that hold the little platic trim covers on. As my NS seat is in and out quite regularly I tend not to bother with the plastic bits.
