How to Remove the Rear Seats of a Car?
2 Answers
Methods for removing the rear seats of a car: On both sides of the rear seat near the windows, there are handles. Pulling these handles allows the backrest of the rear seat to fold forward. For the seat cushion of the rear seat, in most cases, you can press the cushion towards the rear of the car and lift it upwards to remove it. Installation of rear seat covers: 1. Remove the rear seat headrests, then place the backrest cover over the backrest. The top of the seat cover is secured with hooks, while the bottom is fixed by inserting cushion clips into the gap between the backrest and the seat cushion. 2. Place the seat cushion cover over the rear seat cushion and secure it again by inserting cushion clips into the gap between the backrest and the seat cushion. 3. Reinstall the rear seat headrests and cover them with headrest covers, securing them with clips.
Last time my car's rear seats were too dirty, so I decided to remove and clean them myself. The whole process wasn't actually difficult. First, make sure the car is parked stably and the engine is turned off to avoid accidents. Squat near the rear door, lift the floor mat, and carefully locate the metal clips or pull rings under the seat. Use your hands to pull upward firmly to release the front mounting points of the seat cushion. Then check if there are any bolts securing the rear of the seat cushion, and gently loosen them with a wrench—avoid using excessive force to prevent stripping the threads. After removal, carefully move the seat aside to avoid scratching the door panels or interior carpet. Different car models vary significantly; my sedan was relatively simple, while SUVs might involve sliding rails. After removal, take the opportunity to clean the dust under the seats or check if the springs are intact, repairing any issues promptly. DIY can save on repair costs, but I recommend beginners first consult the owner's manual or watch video tutorials to avoid damaging the clips. If you encounter difficulties, don't force it—seek professional help for safety.
