How to Remove the Rear Seats of a Corolla?
2 Answers
Corolla rear seat removal method: There is a release switch button under the headrest. Press the button to remove it. When installing the seat, push it firmly into place, then feel with your hand to ensure it aligns with the clips. Once aligned, press down firmly to secure the seat cushion. The Corolla (formerly translated as "Corolla Flower") is a brand under Toyota. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads, ensuring excellent sporty performance.
As a seasoned veteran in vehicle maintenance, I often assist friends with removing the rear seats of a Corolla. First, ensure the vehicle is parked and turned off, and have basic tools like a flathead screwdriver or pry bar ready. Locate the front edge of the seat cushion, then gently lift it upward with both hands or a tool until you hear a slight click indicating the release. Next, pull the cushion forward to remove it. If the clips are stubborn, avoid forcing them—instead, try wiggling the cushion to find the loosening point. Then, inspect the rear backrest, which is usually secured by bolts at the base of the rear seat; use a wrench to loosen and remove them. The entire process shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes, but be cautious as interior panels are prone to scratches—laying down a towel for protection is recommended. Once, I encountered a stuck seat, which turned out to be due to an engaged child safety lock, so always check all locking mechanisms first. After removal, remember to clean the clip slots to prevent dust buildup, which could hinder reinstallation.
