Hello,

I am trying to find out how to remove the seats behind the driver and front passenter as I need to be able to get a wheelchair in and out of the MAzda 5 via a side door.
Has anyone been able to remove the seats? When I bought the car the salesman said it was posssible and that he would have a mechanic show me how. Of course the day grew long and we missed that golden opportunity!

 

1. Remove the plastic covers on the fronts and rears of the sliding rails. Just use a standard flat blade screwdriver - there's a snap on each side of each cover. They just pop off - nothing tricky.

2. Remove the 14mm hex bolts on the front and rear of each rail (4 per seat). Slide the seat back to access the front bolts, then forward to access the rear bolts.

3. Lift out those heavy seats and go race someone.
