How to Remove the Rear Seats of a Corolla?

At the junction between the seat base and the backrest, reach your hand inside to feel for a latch. Apply slight pressure inward and lift upward to remove one side. Use the same method on the other side to detach the seat cushion.
I've taken apart the rear seats of a Corolla several times, and it feels quite straightforward. First, locate the front part of the seat. There's usually a small handle or button under the seat cushion—just pull it firmly to lift the entire seat cushion. The backrest at the rear might have clips or hooks; a gentle push or pull should release them. Take your time during the process, and remember to turn off the engine to avoid touching any wiring under the seat, especially in models with heating functions. After removal, I often use the opportunity to clean accumulated dust inside the car or modify the space for storage. Different model years of the Corolla may have varying designs—older models might have tighter clips, while newer ones have more noticeable buttons. It's best to check the owner's manual to confirm. Safety first—avoid forcing anything to prevent damaging the clips.
