Removing rear seats, any tips?

[HeffS]

Removed all seats at the weekend as per manual, now have a rattle so guess I need to check something. Does anyone have any tips on removing and reolacing the seats.

Seat belt buckle on the wheel arch?

I took the rear seats out last week and found that I could put them back without having the hooks fully secured, which caused a rattle.  The seats can be removed and replaced very easily, have you tried repeating the exercise?

The locking levers (with red ends) are supposed to self lock as you lower the seat into position but don't always do so without rattling. Lift each seat & ensure the lever has locked. Whilst they don't click into place or anything, they cannot be locked unless the seat is properly located on the pivot bar..

If that doesn't cure it - as Bhanstormer says - ensure the seat belt buckles are back in their stowage receptacles.

Also, make sure the locking levers are in the unlocked position, before lowering the seats back into the car.

I have had rear seats out many times... never the front though, can anyone direct me towards a good set of instructions (ideally with pictures) for removing front seats? (Fabia vRS - Cloth & Heated)

You might be better asking in the Fabia section!

I don't know about the Fabia but the Yeti has sensors attached to the seats to show if seatbelt is being worn. I was reluctant to remove the passenger seat when I fitted the underseat box as I heard that it upset the CPU which then had to be reprogrammed. True or not I don't know but wasn't prepared to risk it, mashed knuckles instead.
