Volkswagen rear seat removal method: 1. Use a screwdriver to pry off the vertical hooks of the two rear seats from the trunk area; 2. Open the rear door and use a wrench to remove the seat belts on both sides of the door, then push the seat cushion backward. Volkswagen models include: Magotan, Sagitar, Golf, Jetta, Volkswagen CC, Bora, etc. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865 mm, width 1832 mm, height 1471 mm, wheelbase 2871 mm, and fuel tank capacity 66 liters. The 2020 Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My experience in removing the rear seats of a Volkswagen car tells me that it's not difficult, but some details need attention. Usually, the front part of the seat is secured with metal clips. First, feel along the bottom edge of the seat near the door with your hand to locate any pull tabs or small mechanisms. A gentle pull or a slight upward tug will loosen and pop the seat. I recommend having a flat-head screwdriver ready, as some older models might have hidden screws that need to be unscrewed. Be careful not to pull any wires or damage the interior during removal, especially if the seats have heating functions. After removal, cleaning is quite convenient—I use a vacuum to clean dust from the crevices and then spray some cleaner to wipe them down, making the seats look brand new. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, with the key being to locate the clip positions first and avoid using excessive force that could damage plastic parts. If the seat is stubborn and won't budge, don't force it—check the car's manual or ask an experienced driver. Remember to press firmly after reinstallation to test stability and ensure driving safety.
