Fit rear seat removal method: There are two screws in the middle of the rear seats. Remove these two screws, then detach the two clips to take off the rear seats. The top-trim Fit comes with magic seats that can be folded up. Here is more information about the Fit: 1.

Removing the rear seats of the Fit is something I often tinker with for fun. Prepare a soft cloth and simple tools like a pry bar or wrench. First, squat down at the rear seat position and check the front edge of the seat—usually, the Fit has plastic covers or pull tabs hidden underneath. Lift the cover to find the fixing clips or small bolts. Gently pull up the seat cushion until you hear a click, indicating it's unlocked. Lift it slowly without using too much force. If the backrest can be folded, unhook the top latch. Be careful not to let the seatbelt get stuck. Once removed, it's convenient for placing a large box or cleaning the interior. Take your time during the process—safety first. Ensure the car is turned off and the handbrake is engaged for stability. The Fit is designed with user-friendliness in mind, so it usually takes about five minutes to complete. Online videos provide clear instructions.

As a homemaker, I remove the seats just to fit more shopping bags. The Fit's rear seat design is quite thoughtful: when sitting in the middle rear seat, reach under the front of the seat to feel for a small pull ring or lever; a gentle pull releases the seat cushion. The entire seat can be lifted out as one piece, but be careful of the weight to avoid straining your back—getting the kids to help makes it easier. Once removed, the space is generous, making it smooth to fit a stroller or pet carrier in the trunk. If it gets stuck, don’t force it—the Fit’s manual has diagrams, or you can ask a mechanic for advice. Regularly check the latches during maintenance to prevent rust and extend their lifespan.

As a retiree with less nimble legs, removing seats for convenience is a practical approach. The Honda Fit's rear seats are easy to operate: sit in the car, locate the buckle position at the front of the seat, roughly under the thighs; press or gently lift upwards. The seat cushion can then be removed, leaving the backrest in place if preferred. After removal, storing items in baskets or making room for a wheelchair saves space, but avoid lifting heavy loads alone—ask a younger neighbor for assistance. The process is straightforward, and the Fit's design is beginner-friendly, requiring just a bit of time to complete.
