3 Answers
The method to remove the rear seat cushion of a Magotan is as follows: 1. Lift the rear seat cushion upwards forcefully, as there are fixing clips on both sides of the middle position of the cushion divided into three equal parts; 2. Push the cushion firmly inward and unhook the metal hooks at the bottom of the rear backrest; 3. Remove the three screws under the rear backrest, then lift the backrest upwards to detach it. The Magotan is a mid-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
I'm the kind of person who enjoys fixing things myself, and removing the rear seat cushion of a Magotan is actually quite simple and easy to learn. First, locate the clips or hooks at the edge of the cushion, usually hidden under the front edge, and lift it upward with force. If it's stuck, it might be because the locking point hasn't been released—check if the seat position is slid all the way forward or backward first. Then, try holding one corner of the cushion with one hand and lifting it forcefully with the other to release it. After removal, remember to place it in a shady area for cleaning; you can use a vacuum to remove dust or a damp cloth to gently wipe off stains. I often remove it to clean the space, which makes it convenient for things like placing a bicycle or luggage, but be gentle and avoid pulling too hard, or you might damage the clips, which would be a big loss. When reinstalling, align it properly and press down until you hear a click, indicating it's securely fixed. The whole process takes about 15 minutes—saving on repair costs while honing DIY skills feels amazing!
When driving with my family, keeping the rear seats clean is crucial, and removing the Magotan's rear seat cushions requires attention to safety. Generally, the seat cushions are secured to the car body with clips. Before removal, ensure no one is sitting in the seats to avoid injuries. Gently reach under the front edge of the cushion to locate the hooks, then apply even force by pulling backward and upward to release them. Avoid using excessive force—if stuck, stop and inspect or seek professional help to prevent plastic parts from breaking or interior scratches. After removal, air-dry and disinfect the cushions to prevent mold, or use seat covers for protection. Wearing gloves for better grip is recommended, and disconnecting the battery before starting minimizes minor electrical risks. If unsure, I take the car to a 4S shop for professional assistance—it costs a bit but saves hassle. Safety always comes first; though the process is simple, never take it lightly. Regular maintenance ensures a cleaner, more comfortable cabin.
