Rear seat removal

So I’ve brought some almond leather seats and door casings, I’ve done the fronts and casings but I’m stuck on the rear seats! I’ve got the bases but I just can’t do the uprights! Any tips would be appreciated

I take out the rear seat bases every 6 months, before I go on tour. I have never taken out the rear seat backs, as I fold them down to use as an extended floor.

Looking at it ...... it looks a big job, as the 'square hinge bar' has to come out.

It's only a big job if you take that bar (20) out, however if you prefer an easier job, you just disconnect at the hinge points.
All you need to do is 'waggle' a screwdriver at it.
I'll find the link and post it later. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

I did a search. Told the FL2 is the same as the Ford Focus. (after all it is a Ford design)

Hello, did you manage to remove the bench seats?
I pulled the lever (L) in the attached picture but can’t seem to figure out if I need to press or push the lever (?) towards the rear end of the car as it says in the video.

Tried the method in video in the thread but the lever is too firm to push. Don’t wanna break it.

Thank you.

United Kingdom 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Auto Stornoway Grey
HELP! Mine doesn’t look like the video

I’m in the same boat, a 2012 car upgrading to full leather. The video showing the screwdriver moving a lever - well the lever bit just doesn’t seem to be there on either my 2008 or 2012. The plastic contraption is the same but I can’t see the metal lever mechanism at all.

I even have a JLR guide by the green bit isn’t there. Any help appreciated.
