How to Remove the Rear Seats of a Haval H6?

Haval H6 rear seat removal method: 1. Park the car in a safe location; 2. Inside the car, you can see that the screws under the rear seats are protected by plastic covers, which are clip-on type and can be pried off directly; 3. After removing the protective plastic covers, the screws inside will be visible; 4. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the screws; 5. Once both screws are removed, the seat can be taken out. The Haval H6 is a flagship model of the Haval brand, with body dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1690mm in height, a wheelbase of 2680mm, and equipped with a 1.5GDITEVO engine.

When I first removed the rear seats of my Haval H6 to install a child safety seat, it took me two attempts to figure it out. First, move the front seats all the way forward to create space, then bend down to locate the two plastic clips at the front of the rear seat cushion. Reach into the gap between the cushion and the car floor and lift upward with force—once you hear a click, the clip releases. Make sure to lift both sides simultaneously to avoid breaking the clips, which are located near the front edge of the cushion close to the seat crease. After removing the cushion, you’ll need to detach the backrest. At the bottom of the backrest, there are metal hooks secured to the frame—grip the backrest firmly with both hands, lift upward, and then push forward to unhook it. If the hooks feel too tight, don’t force them; just spray some rust remover. When reinstalling, ensure you hear the hooks click into place for a proper fit.

I've helped a friend remove the rear seats from two different model years of the Haval H6, and the clip positions are indeed slightly different between the old and new versions. The 2019 model's clips are located directly beneath the front section of the seat cushion, requiring a straight upward pull. The 2022 model, however, switched to an angled insertion design, needing a 45-degree upward and forward lift. The backrest hooks are pretty similar across both, mainly requiring precise alignment with the metal hook slots on the chassis. The biggest concern during removal is brittle plastic clips due to aging—using a soft cloth for extra padding when applying force in cold winter conditions is advisable. If you encounter a stubborn seat that won't budge, chances are the wiring underneath is caught—remember to disconnect the airbag wiring connectors under the seat in newer models first. When reinstalling the seat cushion, pay close attention to whether the side locking tongues are fully engaged into the rail holes.

The most dreaded part of removing rear seats is damaging the interior trim. I once scratched a plastic piece. Later, I figured out the trick: keep a plastic pry bar handy and wear work gloves for a better grip. The key is to apply the initial force at the center point of the front edge of the seat cushion. Grip the edges with both hands and lift about 10 cm upwards until you hear the spring release sound. If you encounter stubborn clips, avoid wiggling them side to side. If it's really stuck, turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the material to warm up before trying again. Place the removed seat cushion upside down to prevent the metal frame from scratching the leather. Lastly, it's best to do this on a sunny day, as plastic becomes brittle and prone to cracking in winter.

The disassembly process involves three steps: First, clear the rear clutter to facilitate bending over. Then, tackle the seat cushion by adopting a half-squat position, gripping the front corners of the cushion, and using your knees to push upward from the bottom with decisive force—no hesitation. Once the clips are released, don’t rush to pull out the cushion; instead, slide it outward parallel to check for any connected wires. The backrest is simpler: grab the top leather surface with both hands and pull it toward your chest, allowing the bottom hooks to disengage automatically. Surprisingly, the most strenuous part is reinstalling it—aligning the hooks with the body frame grooves requires adjusting the angle three times. Finally, press the seat cushion firmly downward to ensure it’s secure front and back without any looseness.
