The beige carpets weren't looking great so I decided to get brave, remove the seat and give them a deep clean.

Removing the seat was fairly straightforward, just 4 bolts then disconnect the battery before unclipping the seat power lead to avoid error codes, unclip the lead then lift out. I didn't bother removing seat belt, I left it attached as there's enough belt to to pull out and get the seat out of the way whilst you vacuum and clean.

It's drying out at the moment which shouldn't take long in this sunshine.

Couldn't do the drivers side due to space, need to reverse it onto the drive so may tackle that one tomorrow.

Bugger, never thought of that, may have made getting to the power lead a little easier as the first aid kit in the way, ended up having to tilt it backwards to get access after it was unbolted.

Ta for the tip, will remember it for the drivers side.
