How to Remove the Rear Seat Cushion of the Buick Verano?
4 Answers
The method to remove the rear seat cushion of the Buick Verano is as follows: 1. There are clips on both sides at the front of the rear seat cushion. Shake it back and forth and pull it upwards forcefully. Once the clips on both sides are released, pull the cushion backwards firmly. There are three metal hooks at the back; releasing them will allow the cushion to be removed. 2. If you lack manual dexterity, it is recommended to have it removed at a 4S shop or a car wash service. 3. Additional note: If any seat back is not locked, it may move forward during emergency braking or a collision, potentially causing injury to passengers seated there. Always push and pull the seat back to ensure it is in the locked position.
Last year, I removed the rear seat cushion of my Buick Verano several times to clean the dog hair underneath, which was quite easy. You need to squat in front of the rear seat first, then look down to find a plastic buckle at each end under the cushion. Pull upward firmly with both hands until you hear a click sound, then release. Avoid using excessive force to prevent breakage. The entire cushion can then be lifted off, allowing you to wipe away dust or vacuum underneath. When reinstalling, align the cushion slots with their original positions and press down gently until you hear a click. This method applies to all Verano models. Doing it yourself saves money and effort, and you can also regularly check if the seat has shifted to ensure driving comfort. It's recommended to do this once a month to extend the cushion's lifespan.
Key safety points to note when removing the rear seat cushion on the Buick Verano. Having dealt with similar situations, I recommend first ensuring the car is turned off and parked safely. Both the left and right front ends of the seat cushion are secured with metal hooks and plastic clips - pulling upward directly with force may injure your hands, so wearing gloves is advisable. Maintain steady force when pulling, avoiding sudden jerks to prevent clip breakage. After removal, check if the hooks are bent or deformed; if so, visit a repair shop for replacement to avoid unstable reinstallation. This operation isn't difficult even for beginners - once learned, you can easily clean debris from seat gaps or replace floor mats anytime.
Removing the rear seat cushion of the Verano requires minimal tools—mostly just hand strength. I usually start by locating the front corner clips, then grip both sides firmly and pull upwards sharply to release the fasteners. The trick is to lean slightly forward during the pull for a one-time success, avoiding repeated attempts that waste time. After removal, you can inspect the undercarriage structure and optionally clean or air-dry the cushion—great for summer humidity and odor prevention. The whole process takes just 2-3 minutes, saving professional service costs.
