Besturn B50 rear seat backrest removal method: 1. Remove the rear seat and locate the two screws underneath; 2. Then remove the screws, slightly pull the backrest forward after removal, and lift it upward; 3. If it doesn't lift easily, use a flashlight to check inside the trunk for any obstructions—there might be a small hook-like clip holding the backrest in place. Release it and pull the backrest upward with force to successfully remove it. The Besturn B50 is a car independently developed by FAW Car, with body dimensions of 4615mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1435mm in height. In terms of suspension, the Besturn B50 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension with a stabilizer bar.
Removing the rear seat backrest of the Besturn B50 is something I do frequently. Start from the middle of the rear row—reach underneath the backrest base to locate two metal clips, then lift firmly upwards to release the first one. Next, use a socket wrench to remove the fixing nuts on both sides at the top of the backrest (usually around 12mm). When loosening them, remember to use a magnetic tool to prevent the nuts from falling into the car. There’s also a hidden clip near the door side of the seat—carefully pry open the decorative cover with a flathead screwdriver to access it. The whole process takes about half an hour, with the key being to work from bottom to top and apply even force without jerking. Finally, after removal, check the mounting points for debris, and when reinstalling, ensure each clip clicks audibly into place.
I still remember clearly the experience of removing the rear seat backrest of my Besturn B50 last time. After opening the door and crawling into the back seat, I found a U-shaped hook hidden in the gap at the bottom edge of the backrest. I simply grabbed the backrest with both hands and pulled upward to release it. For the top part, I had to lie in the trunk to loosen the fixing bolts on both sides - having a short-handle wrench made the operation much easier in tight spaces. If the clips were too tight, repeatedly pressing to release the spring lock worked better than prying with a screwdriver to avoid scratching the interior. After removal, I noticed dust and small objects easily accumulated behind the backrest, so I took the opportunity for deep cleaning. The most challenging part was realigning the slots during reassembly - I recommend taking reference photos with your phone beforehand.
