Citroen C2 Right Rear Seat

Deep in the crease between the seat base and the backrest, usually marked with a small ISOFIX tag stitched into the upholstery. On the C3 they are notoriously hard to find because the fabric closes over them. Push the cushion down firmly with the flat of your hand to open the gap and expose the metal brackets rather than fishing through the fabric with the child seat connector.

Most of the modern range does — C3, Xsara, C5 Aircross, C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross all use a 60/40 split-folding bench, with the larger section usually on the right. The C2 and other older models use a single one-piece bench that folds as a unit. This matters when buying a used section, since the two are not interchangeable, so check your handbook or send the VIN.

It varies with trim, fabric and condition rather than falling into one bracket. Ask through our form with your model, year and interior colour code and we will match cloth, leather or eco-leather from a South African donor car. Send photographs too — rear trim patterns changed within model runs, and a mismatched section is more noticeable than a worn matching one.

Yes, provided they are sound, and the check is straightforward: clear any grit out of the bracket, look for corrosion or distortion, and confirm the child seat clicks home positively with the indicator showing green. Because the anchors are welded to the body rather than the seat, they are not affected by seat wear. If a bracket is visibly corroded or bent, have it inspected before fitting a seat to it.

Yes — pull the tag or lever at the top of the backrest and each 60/40 section tips forward onto the seat base. Be realistic about the result: it does not lie perfectly flat the way a purpose-built load-carrier does, because the cushion stays in place underneath. It does extend the boot enough for a bicycle, flat-pack furniture or longer loads, which is what most owners need it for.
