Can you remove the second row seats from an Audi A8 D4?

Yes, you can remove the back seats from an Audi A8 D4, but the process isn’t straightforward because sedans are generally not designed with easily removable back seats like a minivan or SUV.
That said, you can certainly remove the back seats from your Audi A8 D4—just be sure to follow our safety tips so that no one gets hurt!
  • Get a buddy to help. Removing the rear seats from an Audi A8 D4 isn’t a simple job, and it’ll probably take at least two people to get the seat out of your car. Plan for someone to help you to avoid any potential injuries by attempting the job alone. 
  • Cover the floor after removing the seat. Removing the back seat of your Audi A8 D4 will leave some mechanisms exposed that could potentially injure or snag any cargo you may put in the back seat area. Prevent any injuries by covering the floor with a blanket, carpet, tarp, or rug. A deconstructed cardboard box is also a great floor covering. 
  • Keep track of the bolts! Nothing is worse than going to reinstall your back seat, only to realize you’ve lost the bolts! Keep the bolts for your rear seat in a safe place that you’ll remember, like a drawer in your house or the glove compartment of your car. 

How to remove the second row seats from an Audi A8 D4

The process for removing the back seats from an Audi A8 D4 requires a little bit of detective work to find the bolts that secure the seats to the floor. But once you locate all the screws, you can simply unscrew them and remove the seat from your car. 
  1. Locate the two screws on each side of the front of the back seat. You can find the two screws near the base of the seat where your ankles would be—they are covered by a carpet tab. 
  2. Locate the two screws on the back. You can find these on either side where your lower back would sit or just below the middle headrest. Remove the small leather cover concealing the bolts. 
  3. Unscrew the bolts.
  4. With someone’s help, remove the rear seat from your Audi A8.
