The seats get removed from the trunk area. On the back side of the seat (flat part) the hinges are bolted to the back of the seat.
Remove those bolts.

B5 passat rear seat back removal (varied)
Hi ive searched around and seen a few posts about removing the rear seats in a b5 passat, mine is a 99 sedan for reference, but none that cover my specific issue so im looking for some advice. Removing the seat bottoms is simple enough but how/can i remove the seat back (the folding part not the bench you sit on). Thanks in advance

There's two plastic pieces near the head rests that you have to pull up if you want to fold the seats down, I'd fold them down and see where they're bolted at the bottom. You might have to lift out the carpet from the boot/trunk.Hi ive searched around and seen a few posts about removing the rear seats in a b5 passat, mine is a 99 sedan for reference, but none that cover my specific issue so im looking for some advice.

Yea ive done all that already and its not clear if the same brackets that hold the seat are also where the seat belts attach. I found a video of someone removing the seat backs from a 99 jetta and for whatever reason the passat is 5 times harder and completely different haha thanks thoughThere's two plastic pieces near the head rests that you have to pull up if you want to fold the seats down, I'd fold them down and see where they're bolted at the bottom.

Look up a video for a C5 Audi A6, I believe the seats are direct swaps between that and the B5 Passat.Yea ive done all that already and its not clear if the same brackets that hold the seat are also where the seat belts attach.
