How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Skoda Fabia?
2 Answers
There is a clip position on each side of the seat cushion. Hold the front lower part of the seat cushion with your hand and pull it upward firmly. After pulling up one side, proceed to the other. Unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the rear backrest, then remove the plastic part at the headrest insertion point of the backrest by unbuttoning it from the fabric eyelets. After unbuttoning these 6 clips, slide the seat cushion upward to remove it.
I'm someone who frequently works on my own car, and removing the rear seats of a Skoda Fabia isn't actually complicated. The first step is to check the anchor points beneath the seat cushion—usually there are pull tabs or small hooks that you can feel by hand or locate using the diagrams in the owner's manual. I've found that most Fabia rear seat cushions are secured by two plastic clips, which can be gently pried open with your hands or a small pry bar—just don't use too much force to avoid breaking them. The second step involves the backrest. If it's a 60/40 split rear seat, first locate the release lever on the door-side. Last time I removed it, I just sat on the rear floor and pulled the lever to fold the backrest down, but be mindful of the seatbelt buckle inside that may need to be undone. The whole removal process usually doesn’t require professional tools—just a regular screwdriver for minor assistance. I typically do this when cleaning the rear seats or loading larger cargo. For safety, remember to turn off the vehicle’s power to avoid accidental triggering of airbag-related wiring. The whole thing takes less than ten minutes. Beginners can master the technique after a few tries—don’t worry about breaking anything. Once done, you can also clean the seat rails or check for any loose parts—it’s quite practical.
