The guide I saw only said it was attached at the front edge of the rear bench. So I've pulled upwards on both sides and released both the catches at the front edge, and I've removed the isofix covers and frames, but it still feels very attached at the mid/rear. Any advice on whether the rear is somehow secured to the vehicle? 

 

Is it like the passat in this vid where you have to push back? I've tried that and maybe I'm not being manly enough?... https://youtu.be/nznbielS4IU

After unhooking the front edge upwards and releasing that, mine just don't seem to slide forwards in the direction of the arrow out of the "crash hooks" (yellow bits at the back of seat in image here).

I find it’s easier to stand in the footwell and lean a knee into the base and pull so it unhooks. It’s a deep hook but if I can do it, anyone can

hmm, so you push down with your knee around where that hook marked '2' is before pulling the bench forward?

Yeah kinda, I use my weight to push the base back towards the seat back and that will give you the room to unhook it. Slide the front seat to a point where you have some grip and it works well for removal and installation.
