Hi, Siggi, this one should be kind of easy to do...

If all you want to do is remove the seat bottom, you don't need any tools... just pry the front edge of the seat UP, it will pop up about 2 cm. There are 2 separate clips, one in front of each passenger's station (none for the middle guy). BE CAREFUL you don't pull the seat up too far in front, you just want to get the pin (on the seat) to clear the hole (in the car frame). Once this is done, slide the seat bottom forward. WATCH OUT for the seat belt buckles, it is easy to dislodge/break the plastic shroud around them.

For re-installation, again, be VERY CAREFUL about those seatbelt buckles (broke one once), be patient, lots of squeezing the seat cushion by hand to make it sneak past the seatbelt buckles. Once you think it is in far enough, it probably has another 3-4 cm to go ;-)... I crouch in the back of the car and use my knees to shove the seat back the rest of the way (no wonder I broke my seat belt buckle!).

When the pins on the seat line up with the holes, just smack the seat above the pin with your hand and it clicks right in. BE SURE IT IS LINED UP BEFORE SMACKING IT!

Hope this helps
