Has anyone got a handy guide on removing the front seats please? Want to get give the car a massive clean and get in all the nook and crannies and find it easier taking them out.

Many Thanks in advance.

If they are anything like the mk1 fabia, there's a spline bolt at each corner.

 

Then its down to whether there is also electrical connector/s for airbags / heated seats

As above: the runners are held down by spline bolts -can't remember if there are 4 or 6 bolts. You can tip the seats on their backs in to the rear foot wells to save removing from the car and risk bashing the paint work with the seat runners.

Take care when refitting the 4 spline bolts that you do not cross thread them, it's easy to do.

Get lots of light and you should be OK.

If you disconnect battery should have no 'air bag' problems.

You could also fit the inexpensive, useful genuine Skoda underseat storage boxes whilst you're at it. Hold lots of stuff, keeping your cockpit tidy.

I was just about to say this.

If you havent already got them and you're going to be removing the seats, you might aswel tbh. Seems rude not to!

I would, however the car is going next year but thank you. As for spline bolts, what tool am I meant to use, not seen these before :/

A spline tool

It's like a torx, but with more points on it

Yeah thanks Brimma. lol

Oh reason to remove seats is so I can give it a good clean down the sides where the vac can't reach not the back of the chair where some one mentioned. [emoji106]

Where abouts in the country are you mate?

Pretty sure I've got a tool to fit if you arent far away?

Yeah thanks Brimma. lol

That was one of my more useful posts

If you only want a super clean, it would be cheaper and quicker to buy a long, thin crevice tool for your vacuum cleaner......

I use this from draper cost me £6 from local hardware shop I've used it on both Mk 1 & 2 Fabia's

These are my crevice tools for vacuum cleaner, I too have used them on my sons' mk1 Fabias as well as my mk2.!

I've never fancied the idea of a vacuum cleaner tool going up my crevice

:(

Don't worry though Brimma, if you have a Dyson they have a flexi crevice tool.

I have a Dyson and I have the flexi crevice tool - it's far too chunky to get in anywhere to be of any real use

I know, it's a pain in the a**e isn't it.

Yanno when the kitchen roll runs out and you're left with that cardboard tube?

Couldnt you Cellotape that to the nozzle of the hoover and squash the cardboard so it fits down the side of the seat?

Just thought of that, not sure itll work. Might be a genius moment, and i might of just expressed my retarded side

Right spline tools coming in the next few days ready for the weekend.  As for the two plugs under the seat am I best to disconnect the battery first and leave for X amount of minutes before doing anything else?

I normally do, just to be on the safe side, no point risking the outgoing seat for the sake of waiting half hour or so
