How to Remove the Rear Seats of Volkswagen Touareg?

Old model Touareg rear seat removal method: There are black plastic covers under the front of the rear seats. After removing them, you will find 4 screws inside. Unscrew these screws, recline the seat, push it forward, then unscrew the screws at the back of the seat to remove the rear seats. New model Touareg: For the new Touareg, simply pull upwards to open, but there are connectors underneath that need to be disconnected before the rear seats can be removed. More details are as follows: 1. The Touareg is a luxury SUV model under Volkswagen, positioned as a mid-to-large-size SUV, with the 2019 model currently on sale. 2. In terms of body dimensions, the Touareg measures 4878mm in length, 1984mm in width, and 1702mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2894mm. 3. In terms of appearance, the Touareg features relatively simple lines on the sides and rear, and the dual exhaust layout on both sides looks very attractive.
I've previously disassembled the rear seats of my Touareg myself, and it wasn't actually that difficult. Prepare a wrench and screwdriver, starting with the seat cushion. There's a small pull cord under the front seats—just tug it to release the front clips of the cushion. Then lift the front of the cushion upward, followed by the rear. Note that the rear seat cushion is divided into left and right sections, each with its own independent clip mechanism. When removing the backrest, first unscrew the two T50 bolts at the base of the seat, then use a bit of finesse to push upward, and the entire frame will detach from the anchors. Pay special attention to the seatbelt socket wiring—locate the connector and gently unplug it. Throughout the process, maintain patience and avoid using brute force to pull, as Volkswagen's plastic clips are quite fragile. After disassembly, I found that it allowed for a thorough cleaning of the accumulated dust under the seats—definitely worth a try.
