How to Remove the Rear Seats of the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The method for removing the rear seats of the Mazda 3 Axela is as follows: 1. Recline the backrest of the rear seat. 2. Locate a small lever on each side inside the gap between the seat cushion and the seat, pull the lever towards the door direction by hand, then lift the seat cushion, and the seat can be removed. The maintenance methods for the Mazda 3 Axela's leather seats are as follows: 1. Clean properly. When cleaning the car's leather seats, use a cleaner to remove dust and stains from the leather surface to prevent bacteria and pollutants from damaging the leather seats, and keep them dry and tidy. 2. Avoid soaking. Leather seats can be severely damaged if soaked. 3. Keep away from heat sources. Placing very hot items near the leather seats can cause the leather to crack and fade. 4. Apply fat wisely. Appropriately applying fat to the leather of the seats can help nourish the leather, repair damage, and make the leather surface smoother.
To remove the rear seats of the Mazda 3 (Axela), I've done it several times myself. First, crouch down and check under the seats—you'll find two clips, usually located in the front corners. Gently pull up the front edge of the seat cushion, but not too forcefully to avoid breaking the clips. If it's a fold-down seatback, sometimes there's a small pull strap on the side; just tug it to release. It's best to do this in warm weather as the plastic becomes more flexible and less likely to break. Once removed, cleaning the seat cushion is easy—just vacuum it. If you're modifying, adding extra storage space is also convenient. When reinstalling, make sure the clips are aligned properly, and you'll hear a 'click' when it's securely in place. The whole process takes just a few minutes. Beginners might need a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but don't worry about damaging any parts.
