Just an observation.......that silver "tab" that hes hammering Is just the top of a "C" clamp pivoted at the bottom of the "C". I just pushed mine towards the rear with a small screwdriver.
Thanks for the video! Same seats and process for the Land Rover Freelander 2 but!!!!! .............. (at 4:45) when moving the retaining plate back with a hammer and screwdriver - on the LR2 you have to gently prize off the grey mini panel to reveal a torx head securing bolt which must be removed to allow the retaining plate to move back. Otherwise there isn't a hammer in the world heavy enough to move it. This video really helped in removing the seats on my LR2 but I did ruin a couple of screwdrivers before realizing the bolted arrangement.
Flat head and blunt object for the sake of your fingers preferably a rubber mallet and then essentially just keep tapping it until it goes all the way back and then you can lift it out
Thanks for the video! Just cleaned and vacuumed under the seat and man was it gross. Gonna be much nicer now.
Thanks Chris. Like a magic trick. Easy when you know the magic. Much appreciated ☺️

Glad I could help I guess that makes sense that is a fomoco era Rover I'm sure it works on Volvos too
Thanks brother, you save my day
I realize this is an obvious mistake, but there are four bolts that hold the front of the seats; not three. Two for each seat.
How much weight reduction did u achieve by removing rear seats?
@ardienn don't know I just wanted leather back seats that aren't made of cardboard and some rocks
@ardienn my ST is stock my daily and has 310,000 miles I don't track it maybe some backroads
How do you know when the metal piece is off the lock?

Useless if we can't see what bit you took out😅
