Hi John. Mac if you asking about the rear seat swab on the MG5 ( the part you put your bum onto ) it quite east at the front of the swab about 6 inches in from both sides where it is next to the floor there is a clip place your fingers under here and with a sharp tug upwards it will release and them you can tip it upwards and remove it hope this helps

Any hints on how to remove the rear seat.

The seat base (squab) just needs a forceful tug

Thank you both. I'm hoping the rear seat backs will then fold flat and give a nice expanse on which to put two bicycles.

The pedant in me just had to - sorry......

In upholstery terms the seat (the part of a chair your bum goes on) is called a squab.

In North America and Europe, Squab in Vehicles is the lower seat portion.

The exception is England for automotive usage during the 1900s. In that context, squab refers to the backrest portion of the chair or side supports one may lean against. In England today, if the conversation is about antique cars or purchasing parts for them, squab refers to the backrest. If the conversation is about modern cars or their parts, squab refers to the seat bottom portion. If clarity is desired, the term squab is avoided.

• Eg. archaic; for old Austin mini parts www.7ent.com uses squab for the back.
  Eg. modern; Oxford Dictionary Online (ODO) uses squab for the seat bottom in three examples of modern usage.

A park seat or a car seat has two main parts. One part is the back. What is the name of the other part?

A car seat or a park seat has two main parts. One part is the back, against which one leans their back. What is the name of the part that one actually sits on (puts their buttocks on it)? For a chair
