How to Remove the Rear Seats of an Old Santana?
2 Answers
On both sides of the rear seat headrests of the Santana, near the windows, there are handles. Before removing the seats, you need to pull these handles first. This allows the backrest of the rear seats to be folded forward. For most of the rear seat cushions, you simply need to push the cushion towards the rear of the car and then lift it upwards to remove it. Below is some relevant information about the Santana: 1. The Santana (SANTANA) sedan is a brand car produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. 2. The new Santana does not have large storage spaces in each area, but the numerous areas are sufficient for daily use. The central area of the front seats is equipped with dual cup holders, which are securely fixed and not prone to tipping. The card slot next to the handbrake can also hold parking cards, passes, etc. Overall, the design of the new Santana is quite user-friendly. 3. The standout feature of the new Santana is its rear seating space. For people of average build, the legroom in front of the rear seats can reach about two fists, a performance that even rivals some A+ segment models, making the interior space quite impressive.
Friends who drive old Santanas know that removing the rear seats is no big deal. As an experienced driver, here's my tip: Lift the front edge of the seat cushion and feel underneath it. You'll find hooks on both sides attached to floor rings. Apply firm upward pressure on the front of the cushion—use strength but don't brute force it—until it clicks free. Remove the entire cushion and set it aside. The backrest is even simpler: Open the trunk to see two large nuts securing the backrest. Loosen them with a 14mm socket wrench and remove, then lift the backrest upward from inside the cabin to detach it. You'll likely find years' worth of coins after removal. Just last week, I took mine apart to clean mold spots.
