Removing Rear Seats on w205
Hi. Does anyone know how to life up or remove the rear set bottom on the w205? I have a C300 that makes a sound from under the backseat like some piece of plastic or coin is moving around down there. I booked an appointment with my dealer but the closest appointment is in 2 weeks. I'm curious if anyone here knows how to life up the seat (I tried pulling up but it seems there is some kind of hook on the left and right sides of the rear seat) and I haven't found any guides online. If anyone knows the technique to remove it, I would greatly appreciate it

Just figured out how to remove it. You have to pull pretty hard on both sides of the rear seats upward. You will hear a loud click. Then you will pull the edges of the rear seat upward and forward to slide it out. Once both sides are out, you can easily remove the rear seat completely. I took it out and found one big jelly bean sitting there on the metal. I'm 99% sure that was the source of the noise I was hearing when turning and I checked everything else and it looks good. Reinstalling the seats was a PITA but if you push with enough force and align the seat belt plugs with the seat holes, you should be good Taking it tomorrow for a test drive and I'm very optimistic that the noise I was hearing is now gone.

Thanks this was helpful. I needed to remove the cushion to retrieve something the fell through the seatbelt holder hole.
There were two clips near the rear side of the cushion, clipping it to the base. After releasing the two front clips upwards, I had to push the cushion mostly horizontally towards the back to release two two rear clips. This post in the GLC forum helped me as well.

Great, of all things that could have made their way into the vent, my key fob slid in there and I can’t get it for the life of me. Thank you Bay Area am traffic for abruptly stopping on the freeway this am. Ugh
