I think you just take the back seat back out, and it slides once you've got the vent & fan disconnected.

Best thing is to use the old one as a pattern and cut a new one (from fibreboard or thin plywood) - the one in there is the original so it gives you a clua as to how uninspiring they were!

Once the seat is out there is usually two small scres holding the seat edge of it in place, then pop up the cntre and wriggle it out, they are a snug fit.

u,mm how to get the seat out? I cant find any screws.. anyhelp...

The bottom, you have to push backwards really hard on both sides then lift it up to clear the locking tabs then pull the seat forward and out, the seat base will be awkward to clear the window handles and arm rests.

The back will be help by either two tabs at the bottom outer edge or by the seat belt bolts.

HTH

Get the bottom out first, then you can get at the fittings that keep the seat back in place. Can't remember exactly, but I think you take out two screws just under the front of the bottom piece and it slides forward (or something like that).

In a cardboard box for an oil filter, within that they're in a plastic boxy thing. They're shiny, and have an instruction sheet as they have cams that stop them from coming undone.
