How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Volkswagen Car?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to remove the rear seat of a Volkswagen: 1. First, lift the rear seat cushion forcefully upwards. There are fixing clips located approximately at the middle positions on both sides of the seat cushion's three equal parts. 2. After removing the clips, there are two U-shaped metal pieces at the back of the seat cushion and corresponding metal hooks under the rear backrest. Push the seat cushion firmly inward to unhook the metal pieces. 3. Once the seat cushion is removed, unscrew the three screws under the rear backrest, lift it upwards, and the rear backrest can be taken off. Basic requirements for car seats: 1. The arrangement of seats within the entire cabin should be reasonable, especially the driver's seat must be in the optimal position. 2. The design of the seat must conform to human physiological functions, ensuring comfort while striving for aesthetics. 3. The seat must be safe and reliable, with sufficient strength, stiffness, and durability, featuring a compact structure and minimizing weight as much as possible. 4. Various adjustment mechanisms designed for the comfort of the driver and passengers must have reliable locking devices to ensure safety.
I often remove the rear seats of Volkswagen cars. Most models like the Golf or Passat have rear seats designed to be detachable for easy cleaning or repairs. The first step is to open the door and locate the release button or strap under the seat—usually hidden at the front edge or side. Press it and lift the front part of the seat upward firmly but not too forcefully to avoid damaging the clips. Once loosened, the seat can be easily removed. Check for any seatbelt hooks that might be stuck and gently release them if needed. Cleaning the carpet underneath becomes much easier afterward. If removal is difficult, applying some lubricant spray to the clips can help a lot. The whole process takes just a few minutes, but it's advisable to refer to the vehicle's manual as there might be slight variations between models. Just be careful not to hurt yourself or damage the interior.
