Thanks for the howto. Also, I've found a small zip-tie will hold the right post mechanism open. That way you don't need to use a screw driver to get them off in the future.

I was going crazy how to do this and the VW dealer was ZERO help. Now I can lay my surfboard flat across the top of the passenger seat. Thanks!!!
