How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Magotan?
2 Answers
The method for removing the rear seat of a Magotan is as follows: 1. Locate the fastening clips at the junctions between the left and right seat cushions and the car floor. Insert both hands on either side of the clips and lift upwards with force. 2. After lifting both clips, push the entire seat cushion sharply towards the backrest direction. It can be moved by pushing horizontally, and then the entire cushion can be lifted upwards to remove it. Below is some relevant information about the Magotan: 1. The dimensions of the Magotan are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm. 2. The 1.8TSI engine equipped in the Magotan is a new-generation engine from Volkswagen Germany. The new Magotan 1.8TSI and the entire model series adopt the HSB high-strength body structure design, with 74% of the body structure using high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel plates, significantly improving the body structure strength while reducing the body weight.
I've been driving a Magotan for several years, and removing the rear seats is mainly for cleaning or replacing the seat cushions, which isn't too difficult. There's a small mechanism on the seat cushion part, usually located under the front edge of the cushion. You can reach in and feel for a plastic pull handle or a clip that you can grip with your fingers. Pull the cushion upwards firmly until you hear a click, which means the clip is released, and then you can lift the entire cushion. If you need to remove the backrest as well, it depends on the model year. Early Magotan models have screws at the bottom of the backrest, which require a wrench to loosen. Newer models might have spring hooks; you can open them directly from the trunk and remove the backrest by pulling the hooks. Be careful not to force it, as you might break the clips or plastic parts. Last time, I broke a clip by using too much force and had to spend a few dozen bucks on a replacement part. I recommend clearing any items from the rear seats before starting, wearing gloves to avoid cuts, and ensuring the clips are aligned and pressed firmly when reassembling to guarantee stability. In short, you'll get the hang of it after a few tries. It doesn't affect driving safety—just sharing some personal tips.
