Prepare the necessary tools such as scissors, clip pliers, tiger claw knife, Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, socket, extension bar, quick wrench, etc. First, use the socket to remove the armrest screws and take off the armrest. Use the tiger claw knife to remove the plastic cover of the seat adjustment knob, then use the socket to remove the base screws. Remove the elastic band connecting the seat back, use the backplate screws to remove the backplate. Loosen the plastic hook strips under the front seat, use the tiger claw knife to pry open the metal retaining clips, release the old fabric cover strips, and use the tiger claw knife to pry open the connecting clips.
I've removed the rear seats of my XPeng P7 several times myself, and found it quite straightforward. First, you need to slide the front seats all the way forward to create enough space. Then locate the plastic clips at the front bottom of the rear seats, usually on both sides, and press down firmly with your palm to release them—you'll hear a click. After that, lift the front part of the seat upward as a whole, being careful not to tug on any wiring harnesses, as damaging the airbag-related cables could be problematic. Once removed, check for any hidden screws or securing straps to ensure everything is fully detached. For tools, a plastic pry bar or even your fingers will do; avoid using metal blades to prevent scratching the interior. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Doing it yourself saves money and boosts your knowledge, but for first-timers, consulting the owner's manual or online videos is advisable, and wearing gloves helps keep things clean. In short, DIY is rewarding—just be meticulous, and you're unlikely to make mistakes.
