So after searching for a little bit about how to remove rear seats and not finding clear enough instructions, decided to make one my self including pics..... (this one was done on a GTI but the process should be very similar for the jetta)
so yeah, here it goes:
first, take out the spare tire and tool kit and stuff
and you'll see this plastic thinny. Just pull on it and it'll just come out.
then you see this. Remove this small bolt (with a small allen key)
This black metal part should come off as the bolt comes off.
And then you see this: middle part of the seatbacks rest on this piece. You can just pull up on the middle part and they should come right off.
Once the middle portion is out of the resting area, sides of the seats go into this: (pull out while twisting a bit and they should come out easily.)
Now before you can pull them out completely, you'll have to remove this bolt holding the middle seatbelt in.
Once that is out, pull out these plastic pieces holding the seat bench. Pull them from the back and push them fowards the front. They are easy to come out as well. Just be careful not to brake them.
Now for the last part, pull the bench up from front. There is velcro holding it and this pin goes into the black hole you see in the picture. Pull up a bit harder and that pin should pop out making the bench loose.
To put them back in, reverse the process
and the actual weight of individual pieces:
Spare tire = 40lbs
Tool kit foaming stuff = 8lbs
Driver side seatback = 10lbs
Passanger side seatback = 35lbs
Seatbench = 10lbs
so keep things light, today my fast lost a total of 103lbs
