The method to remove the rear seat of a Magotan is as follows: 1. Locate the fasteners where the seat cushion meets the floor on both the left and right sides. 2. Insert both hands on either side of the fasteners and lift upwards with force. 3. Once both fasteners are lifted, push the entire seat cushion firmly towards the backrest. 4. The cushion can then be slid out horizontally and lifted upwards to be completely removed. Additional information: 1. Regarding body dimensions, the Magotan measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm. 2. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with a 1.8TSI engine, which is a new-generation engine from Volkswagen Germany. The all-new Magotan 1.8TSI and its entire lineup adopt the HSB high-strength body structure design, with 74% of the body structure made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel plates, significantly enhancing the body structure strength while reducing the overall weight.
I've disassembled the rear seats of my Magotan several times, mainly for interior cleaning or installing child seats. The first step is to clear all items from the rear seats. Locate the two plastic clips hidden in the seams beneath the front edge of the seat cushion. Pull the cushion upwards firmly until you hear a click—don't worry about using too much force, but proceed slowly to avoid breaking the clips. Once the cushion is removed, you'll see the backrest mounting points, typically secured with bolts at the bottom. A regular wrench works fine for loosening them. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, but note that clip positions may vary by Magotan model year, so it's wise to check the owner's manual first. After disassembly, take the opportunity to inspect for dust or debris under the seats. Regular cleaning extends their lifespan, especially for family cars frequently transporting kids.
Removing the rear seat of a Magotan is actually quite simple, and I often help friends with this. The key is at the front edge of the seat cushion, where there are hooks directly fixed to the car body. Just grip the edge with your hand and pull upwards firmly to release the clips, then remove it. After removing the cushion, the backrest part is usually connected to the seat belt anchor points, requiring a wrench or screwdriver to loosen the screws. However, don't remove all screws at once—proceed step by step for stability. Throughout the process, be careful not to scratch the interior with metal tools, and apply even force. From my own experience, rushing it can easily crack the plastic clips, leading to the hassle of replacing them. After removal, it's a good opportunity to check the wiring or ventilation ducts under the carpet, especially if there's a need for audio modifications or upgrades.
