How to Lift Up the Rear Seats of the Buick Verano?
3 Answers
The method to lift up the rear seats of the Buick Verano is as follows: 1. Push the seat backrest all the way back until it locks; 2. Check for any foreign objects stuck between the seat cushion and the backrest; 3. Lift the seat from the end upwards. Taking the 2020 Buick Verano Automatic Base Model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4723mm, width 1802mm, height 1466mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a trunk capacity of 455 liters. The 2020 Buick Verano Automatic Base Model is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125 and a maximum power of 92 kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When I first drove the Buick Verano, I also researched this. To lift the rear seats, you first need to locate the release latches under the front edge of the seats. That time, I got down and looked carefully—there's a plastic pull ring on each side, quite well hidden. Hook your fingers into both rings simultaneously and pull upward firmly until you hear a click indicating it's unlocked. Then grab the front edge of the seat and lift hard to flip the entire seat cushion up. One important detail: you must operate both pull rings at the same time—pulling just one side can cause it to jam. There might be heating pad wiring underneath, so don't yank too forcefully. When reinstalling, align it properly and press down firmly until you hear two clicks to ensure it's securely locked. With regular cleaning, you'll get the hang of it and can do it in half a minute.
Last time when helping a friend clean the Verano's rear seats, I encountered this issue - a pen was stuck under the seat and needed to be retrieved. The key actually lies in those two front fasteners designed to require a precise technique. I usually squat outside the car door and reach under the seat, feeling for the nylon pull straps with my fingers. With my left hand grabbing the right pull strap and my right hand grabbing the left one, I count "one, two, three" and simultaneously pull straight upward with vertical force. This releases the fasteners. Then, use both hands to lift the front edge of the seat - avoid pulling from the side as it may break the fasteners. If you can't locate the pull straps on the first try, don't worry; they might have slid to the side. Once the seat is lifted, you'll see the metal hook structure. When reinstalling, make sure to align it with the floor slots before pressing down firmly.
