How to Remove the Rear Seats of an Old Jetta?
2 Answers
The method to remove the rear seats of an old Jetta is as follows: First, take off the headrest. Then, press down on the clip at the lower side and push it backward before lifting it up. For the rear side, there are two clips in the trunk; pry them open and lift upward to remove the seats. Car seats are designed to provide the driver and passengers with an easily operable, comfortable, and safe driving or riding position. The arrangement of seats within the entire cabin should be reasonable, especially the driver's seat, which must be positioned appropriately. Jetta is a car brand under Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2604mm. The Jetta comes with three engine options: 1.4L, 1.5L, and 1.4TSI, all equipped with the EA211 series engine.
I've taken apart the rear seats of an old Jetta before. The first step is to clear out any items from the back seat. There are two hook-shaped clips underneath the front edge of the seat cushion, which you can feel by reaching under the front lower edge of the seat. Put on gloves, grip both sides of the front part of the cushion with both hands, and use a burst of force to lift it up at a 45-degree angle. When you hear two 'click' sounds, it means the clips have released. Never apply force slowly, as the plastic clips can easily break. After removing the seat cushion, you'll find two 14mm nuts hidden under the backrest. Loosen them with a wrench to remove the backrest. The most challenging part of the whole process is lifting the seat cushion for the first time—finding the right amount of force is crucial. When reinstalling, remember to hook the metal hooks of the backrest first before securing the seat cushion, otherwise, it won't align with the tracks.
