I've probably removed hundreds of rear seats in my 77 years but I am stymied by my 2005 VDP. Can't find instructions in my JTS either. Need to access the air suspension module. And can anyone tell me which relay is for the air suspension. Thanks.

 

There are two fabric straps at the bottom of the seat back. Pull down on each and the top of the seat will pull out.

 

Hell I can't even get the cushion out.

 

Here's the procedure from the Workshop Manual:




Graham

 

To get the base of the seat out there are four triangular shaped flat leavers along the edge of the seat as shown above in the first illustration from GGG.
You release these by pushing them either to the left or right, (I cant remember which) and pull the seat base up to get the catch out. Have something handy to slip in the gap between the seat and the car so that when you do the next one the seat doesn't fall back down and the clip engage again on the one you just released!!

 

Apparently, this kinda thing happens a lot:

Thanks everyone for the great help, finally got it. Why anyone would complicate such a simple thing as seat attachment is beyond me. Hope the designer got a big bonus. Tom.
