How to Remove the Rear Seat in a Mercedes W123


1. Remove the bolts that secure the seat base to the floor pan with a socket and ratchet. The bolts are between the center cut-out in the seat where the seat belt fasteners come out of the center of the seat. Remove the bolts with a socket and ratchet.
2. Grab the front of the seat and work your fingers between the floor pan and the bottom of the seat. Pull up to force the clamps out of the floor pan and pull the seat forward to separate it from the seat back.
3. Push the seat belt fasteners from between the two seat panels and remove the lower seat from the Mercedes.
4. Grab the bottom of the seat back where the seat was joined with the seat base. Pull out on the bottom of the seat to remove the clips from the trunk frame. Keep pulling until the entire seat is free from the trunk frame and remove the seat back from the Mercedes.
