Lost Starburst candy
My kid managed to lose a Starburst inside the back seat. He says it was squeezed through one of the holes/cracks, like the isofix hole or between the seat back and seat bottom cushions. Not good for my OCD. Anyone know how to lift up or get under the back seat bottom cushions? No third row in my car.

Resurrection this thread as I just had the same thing happen to me!
Not sure if people are aware, there is actually a small gap just below the ISOfix flap, and it is not that difficult for something to slip through. And if have kids that left the flap open, then even more things could fall through. Behind the gap there is a fairly deep and narrow opening where things will drop in and your hands wont be able to reach. Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem? |

pop out the isofix covers and pop out the bench. be careful of wiring if you have heated seated. remove refuse/debris. reinstall.

How difficult is it to pop out the rear bench? My son lost his Lego between the seat and the seatbelt clip - gone forever. I tried to see if I could easily pop it out, but I was worried I would cause more harm than good.

I haven't done it on a G05 yet however in the past you simply tug up from the portion of the squab that meets the back of the passengers knees on both the left and right side. On some models the plastics tabs are one time use on others they may be used several times providing they are not broken in removal. The ISO-Fix mounts are static and will not move along with the seat belt buckles. The image below illustrates where the tabs/mounting points are on a 5series and is as general guide not saying this is exact:

I did it a while ago to install a wire from front to trunk. You just pull straight up with some conviction, and be careful not to pull too high if you vave any wiring.

Thank you for confirming. Generally speaking I don't like to post inconclusive information but it was all I had and I don't have access to ETKA/ITSA anymore.

You'll know your hand is on one of the latch points where the front edge of the bench feels most locked in. A good strength tug without too much travel if you have heated seats. |

So here is the gap below the ISOfix flap I mentioned:
https://share.getcloudapp.com/GGurlkXd And here is the trench behind the seat where items could get through the gap get trapped: https://share.getcloudapp.com/bLuwKeoP Can you confirm that by lifting the seat bench, you will be able to reach to the trench? |

I would assume so... nowhere else for it to go but under the bench.

Resurrecting this thread to confirm the seat the G05 does come out as described above, and that you can gain access to the "deep trench" under the seatbelt connection points. My daughter's bracelet fell down into the trench, and there was no way to extract it short of removing the seat base. After unclipping the front edge of the seat on both ends (applying light to moderate upward pressure at each corner of the base), the seat Base slid forward very easily. There seemed to be enough slack in the wires for the rear seat heaters to move enough to expose the "trench," and the bracelet was extracted easily.
Getting the base back into position was a bit harder, because you need to reach under the front of the seat and guide the seatbelt sockets back into their position. That took about five minutes of fiddling. Once they were back in place, the seat slid back into position naturally, and firm downward pressure on the tops of the front edge corners got it clipped back in. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you have to, because the wiring harnesses for the seat heaters seem really flimsy and I wouldn't want to damage one. But retrieval of lost objects of importance is an easy DIY if needed. |
