Default Help me take the Jetta seats out

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could direct me in how to take the
seats of my 00' Jetta GLS out. We were moving houses and while
traveling my kitty got scared and well, now I have got to figure out
how to take the front passenger side seat out and clean it. Any
correct directions would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Can't speak directly to the A4 body style, but A1, A2, and A3 body
cars all work like this:

There are two little stops on the back side of the rails that the rear
seat posts slide on that unscrew with a philips head screw. Then on
the front of the seat in the center there is a rail that slides
through a guide. There's a nut and bolt that go through this rail
that you take out. Then you lift the seat adjuster lever to allow the
seat to slide back out of the rails. Far simpler than most domestic
cars...

If one were to pick nits the A1 has an allen bolt and an acorn nut in
the front that you remove to slide the seat out the back. I cannot
pick any other nits as I have not tried to remove the seat out of my
A4.

I'll pick a nit well it's been a long time but IIRC my mk2 didn't have
stops on the rails either...it was as described above with the mk1.
