It doesn't take long to remove them and is a fairly simple job. You are able to remove all back seats, top and bottom and rear shelf in about 10 to 15mins so it can pretty much be a temporary thing most of the time even when removing them all. There is just a single bolt between the two rear seats. Fold the rear seats down, unscrew the bolt in the centre using the boot as access, lift up the catch and then pull the seats back so that the notches that hold them in line up and then just pull out gently with a sideways and then upwards motion. Do the same to the other side. The bottom of the seats can just be pulled upwards and out by grabing the front lip when the inside of your passenger's knees usually touch. Should come out with ease. All done, parcel shelf, rear seats (top and bottom, left and right) are out. This saves quite a bit of weight and as people have said the exhaust sound is more noticable.
If anyone doesn't feel confident doing this yourself and your serious about saving weight just pay us a visit in Staffordshire and we'll be able to do this for you and show you how for future reference.
