How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz rear seat cushions are secured by two metal hooks inserted into positioning holes underneath. The steps for rear seat removal are as follows: 1. Slide your hand along the seam between the front lower edge of the rear seat and the carpet towards the center of the rear seat for approximately 30cm, then lift the cushion vertically upward with force to disengage the metal hook. Repeat the same method to release the right-side cushion fixing hook. 2. If the rear seat has heating function, after lifting the hooks, avoid abrupt movements of the cushion. Locate the heating wire harness concealed beneath the seam between the rear edge of the cushion and the backrest, disconnect the plug, and then remove the cushion from the cabin.
I've disassembled the rear seats of a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. You'll need a pry bar and a socket wrench. First, lift the front edge of the seat cushion. There are metal hooks on both sides - pull them upward firmly until you hear a click to release them. The backrest is even simpler: there are pull rings hidden in the gaps on both sides of the rear seats; just pull them to fold the backrest forward. The key point is not to rush reassembly after removal - it's a perfect opportunity to clean out coins and cookie crumbs from the seat seams, and you can also check the chassis number. When reinstalling, align the hooks properly, press down on the cushion with your knee until the latch resets. The whole process takes about twenty minutes - remember to wear gloves to avoid scratching the leather.
