How to Remove the Rear Seat of Nissan Sylphy
2 Answers
Nissan Sylphy rear seat removal method: 1. First, lift the rear seat cushion upwards sharply. There are fixing clips on both sides at approximately the middle position of the cushion's three equal parts. The U-shaped metal pieces are inserted into the clips below; 2. After removing the front clips of the cushion, there are two more U-shaped metal pieces at the back of the cushion. There are corresponding metal hooks under the backrest. You need to push the cushion firmly inward, then tilt the front upwards to remove it from the hooks; 3. After removing the cushion, unscrew the three screws under the backrest, lift it upwards, and remove the rear seat. The Sylphy is a model launched globally by Nissan, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It features a liquid crystal instrument panel, a floating central control screen, and is powered by the HR16 engine, a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 135, maximum power of 99kW, and maximum torque of 159Nm. The vehicle comes standard with halogen headlights, LED combination taillights, speed-sensitive front wipers, remote key, intelligent trip computer, electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, manual air conditioning, air filter, speakers, manually adjustable driver's seat, four-door power windows, front dual airbags, manual anti-glare interior rearview mirror, tire pressure monitoring system, vehicle dynamic control system, etc.
I've removed the rear seats of a Nissan Sylphy a few times, it's pretty straightforward but must be done step by step. First, park the car securely and engage the handbrake for safety. The cushion part has two clips at the front edge—just reach in with your hand to feel for them, then pull upwards firmly until you hear a 'click' sound indicating release. For the backrest, Sylphy models usually have small clips or bolts securing it on the side of the rear seats or near the trunk. Start by prying off the plastic cover with your fingers (if too tight, gently use a flathead screwdriver instead of forcing it) to expose the fasteners, then press the clips or unscrew the bolts. The whole process takes at most ten minutes—don’t rush to avoid damaging the interior trim or clips. I’ve found cleaning the carpets much easier after removal, and reassembly just requires aligning and pressing down firmly. Always be careful at each step to avoid disturbing hidden wiring harnesses underneath.
