3 Answers
The method to remove the rear seats of the Changan Eado is to lift them upwards from the position of the seat cushion. Taking the 2020 manual elite version of the Changan Eado as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4730mm, width 1820mm, height 1505mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and curb weight 1300kg. The 2020 manual elite version of the Changan Eado features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158PS, maximum power of 116kW, maximum torque of 260Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Removing the rear seats of my own Eado isn't too difficult, the key is to proceed step by step. First lift up the seat cushion - there's usually a pull handle at the bottom edge. Pull it upward firmly and it will pop open. Then the cushion can be easily removed, revealing possible debris or dust underneath. Next comes the backrest - check the base of the seatback where there are two or three fixing bolts. Just loosen them with a 10mm wrench. Remember to wear gloves to avoid cuts and handle gently. After removing the seats, you'll gain more space for thorough carpet cleaning or wiring inspection. I once lost screws by forgetting to close the door, so I recommend working in a clean area and keeping all components organized. With proper tools prepared, the whole process takes under 10 minutes, but don't rush to avoid damaging interior trim panels.
I have handled quite a few seat removal jobs for the EADO model. The first step is to lift the bottom of the seat cushion, where there are hidden clips that require strong pulling to release. Then remove the seat cushion to expose the backrest fixing bolts, which are usually hex bolts—slowly loosen them with a wrench. Before operation, ensure the car is parked on level ground with the handbrake engaged to prevent slipping. Common issues include damaged clips causing installation difficulties or rusted bolts that are hard to loosen—it's advisable to spray some rust remover. Basic tools like wrenches and gloves are sufficient; avoid using brute force. The purpose of removal is for cleaning, maintenance, or upgrades. After completion, check the integrity of the clips. If in doubt, it's best to consult professional help.
