How to remove the rear seats of a Kia K3?
2 Answers
Kia K3 rear seat backrest has fixed screws located in the gap between the seat and the backrest. Use a 12-point socket to remove the screws inside, and then the seat can be taken off. Below is relevant information: 1. In terms of appearance, the Kia K3 fully incorporates the family-style "Tiger Nose" design language, giving the exterior a strong visual impact. The family-style grille is adorned with serrated chrome trim, paired with sharp-looking front headlight clusters, making it very aggressive. The horizontal front bumper is a common design in current sports cars, which can significantly stretch the visual width and make the visual effect more sporty. 2. For the interior, the Kia K3 retains the dashboard design of the overseas version of the K3, including the new-style multifunctional steering wheel, floating central control screen, air vents, and center console panel. In addition, the domestic K3 has been optimized in some configurations, such as using an electronic parking brake to replace the mechanical handbrake of the overseas version, while the new car also features rear air vents.
As someone who frequently handles car modifications, when removing the rear seats of a Kia K3, the first step is to ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and turned off to prevent accidents. Crouch down to inspect the bottom of the seat—the front is usually secured with plastic clips. I gently lift the edge of the seat upward with my palm to release the clips, and once I hear a click, I avoid using excessive force to prevent breaking them. The rear part of the seat may require loosening bolts, so I prepare simple tools like a hex key as a backup. Different model years of the K3 may vary, so it's best to check the owner's manual first to avoid unnecessary effort. After removal, the seat can be set aside for cleaning or replacing the cushion. Reinstallation involves reversing the steps to ensure the clips snap securely into place without looseness. The whole process is straightforward but requires patience—after a few tries, I can get it done in about ten minutes. When cleaning, avoid water seepage to prevent corrosion of the structure. Also, remember to wear gloves to protect your hands from scratches by hard objects!
