How to Remove the Rear Seats of the Superb?

To remove the rear seats of the Superb, pull the handles located on both sides of the rear seat headrests (near the windows). The backrest of the rear seat can then be folded forward, while the cushion part of the rear seat can mostly be pushed directly backward. Below is the relevant information: 1. The standard version of the Superb comes with automatic start-stop, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, heated exterior mirrors, 4/6 split-folding rear seats, fabric seats, an electronic parking brake, tire pressure monitoring, and side airbags. 2. The Comfort version adds a sunroof, 17-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, a central display navigation system, dual-zone automatic climate control, auto-folding exterior mirrors, heated front seats, automatic lights/wipers, keyless entry, one-button start, rear parking sensors, etc.

Removing the rear seats of the Superb is actually quite simple, I've done it myself several times. First, locate the two plastic clips at the front edge of the seat cushion, right below where the seat and backrest meet. Kneel on the rear footwell area, grip the middle section of the front part of the seat cushion with both hands, and suddenly lift upwards with force about 15-20 cm until you hear a click indicating the clip has released. When removing, make sure to lift both sides simultaneously to avoid jamming or damaging the fixing hooks on one side. After complete removal, you'll find a cable connector at the bottom of the seat - just gently unplug it. Also be careful not to tug any wiring harness for the high-mounted brake light if present at the base of the rear window. For reinstallation, first align with the metal bracket positions, then use your knee to press firmly downward on the center of the seat cushion until you hear a clear locking sound confirming proper engagement. The hidden space beneath the seats is perfect for storing emergency kits or private items, and it's also great for cleaning out coins or debris that fall into the gaps.

Last time I washed my car, I just removed the rear seats of my Superb. The design is quite user-friendly. Before operating, remember to clear items from the back seats and engage the handbrake to ensure the vehicle is stationary. When lifting the seat cushion, be mindful that the front seats should not be positioned too far back, as they may block the removal space. The key technique is to apply a vertical upward force when lifting the seat, avoiding any forward or backward tilting force to prevent deformation of the clips. Once the seat is completely removed, you can see the path of the fuel tank cover cable, allowing you to check for any signs of aging in the wiring. When reinstalling, it's crucial to precisely align the metal tabs with the body anchors. Many people rush and force the seat into place without proper alignment, leading to cracks in the plastic base. I recommend removing the seats every six months to clean accumulated dust, which helps prevent odors inside the car.

Removing the rear seats requires finding the right leverage points. The seat cushion clips of the Superb are hidden under the front edge of the cushion, where you can feel two protruding plastic structures with your hands. First, kneel on one knee in the center armrest area to maintain balance, then hold the front part of the seat cushion with both hands as if carrying a tray. Use the strength of your thighs to coordinate with your arms for a sudden upward lift. After removing the seat, you'll be surprised to find a 12V auxiliary power outlet underneath—a hidden feature many owners overlook. When reinstalling, pay special attention not to crush the wiring harness with the seat belt sensor plug. The entire process takes no more than five minutes, and once completed, the space can accommodate two carry-on suitcases.

Here's a zero-tool removal method: Stand facing the rear seats, using your left foot on the rear door sill for leverage. Insert your fingers into the gap at the front edge of the seat cushion to hook onto the bottom frame, then quickly pull upward while applying backward force. After removal, wrap the metal clips with a soft cloth to prevent scratching the interior. This creates space for storing long items like fishing rod sets. The key to reinstallation is pushing the seat cushion fully forward into position, otherwise the clips may misalign. Don't forget to check the manufacturing date label under the seat - it's quite useful for used car evaluations.

I remember the first time removing it took me half an hour, until I discovered the trick is to move decisively. There's about 60cm between the two front anchor points - start from the door side. Lift the left side with your left hand while leaning right, then pull up the right side smoothly. Don't place it directly on the ground after removal; use cardboard to prevent leather scratches. Clean the ventilation ducts under the seat with a vacuum - they're dust mite hotspots. Proper reinstallation requires two audible clicks - test stability by shaking. Removing rear seats makes waterproof mat installation easier when transporting pets.
