2 Answers
The method to remove the rear seat cushion of a Santana is: 1. Pull the handle near the window; 2. Fold the backrest of the rear seat forward to detach it. Taking the Volkswagen Santana 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2603mm, and fuel tank capacity 52.8L. The Volkswagen Santana 2021 model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 82kW, maximum torque of 145Nm, maximum power speed of 6100rpm, and maximum torque speed of 4000rpm.
To remove the rear seat cushion of a Santana, first prepare basic tools like a screwdriver and gloves to protect your hands and the car body. The cushion is usually secured by clips—check your specific model. Older Santana rear seats have cushion clips on both sides at the front near the backrest. Squat down, gently pry open the clips with a screwdriver, avoiding excessive force to prevent plastic damage. Some models may also have bolts; simply remove them and lift the cushion. Take your time, ensure the car is turned off and power is disconnected to avoid accidental airbag triggers. After removal, inspect for dirt or debris underneath—a good chance to clean. When reinstalling, align the clips and press firmly into place, then test stability. First-timers may take longer; watching video demos helps. Safety always comes first.
