How to Remove the Rear Seats of Zotye T700
4 Answers
On both sides of the rear seat headrests, near the windows, there are handles. Pulling these handles allows the backrest of the rear seats to fold forward. For the cushion part of the rear seats, simply push the cushion toward the rear of the car and then lift it upward to remove it. More details are as follows: 1. The front seats of the car are also very easy to remove. There are sliding rails under the front seats, which are used to adjust the seat position. These rails are usually fixed to the floor with screws. Just unscrew the screws to remove the front seats. 2. The Zotye T700 rear seats feature independent seats, which can be adjusted forward and backward, and the backrest angle can also be adjusted. When the backrest is folded forward, the cushion moves downward in coordination to ensure a smooth and aesthetically pleasing appearance with the luggage compartment cover after the backrest is folded. Compared to fixed seats, independent seats significantly enhance the comfort of rear passengers. Users can adjust the position according to their preferences, providing a more comfortable driving and riding experience.
My Zotye T700's rear seats have been removed several times, either for car washing or loading bulky items. At first, I had no experience and struggled for a long time! Later, I discovered the trick: first slide the entire seat forward to create space for squatting and operating. Removing the headrest is crucial - just press the small button on the side and it comes out easily. Then look at the bottom of the seat backrest, where there's a small plastic cover. Pry it open with your fingers to reveal the fixing bolt, usually 10mm in size. Use a wrench or socket to loosen it counterclockwise. After loosening, don't rush to lift it; raise it slowly to avoid pulling on any internal wires or harnesses. If the seat has connectors (like plugs), gently unplug them to prevent damage. After removal, there's much more space, but remember to align the position when reinstalling and press firmly until you hear a click to secure it. For regular maintenance, check the bolts periodically for looseness; if rusted, spray some rust remover before tightening. Safety first - always turn off the engine before working.
Disassembling the rear seats of the Zotye T700, as a DIY enthusiast, I found it quite satisfying! Just use the wrench or screwdriver you have at home. Simple steps: first move the seat to the front end to easily access the bottom. The headrest must be removed—just press the button and pull it out, don’t use excessive force. There’s a plastic cover under the seat; pry it open to reveal the bolt, about 10mm in size, and loosen it. Remember the bolt’s direction—turn it counterclockwise until you can lift the seat. When lifting, keep it vertical to avoid damaging the rails and clips. If there’s a wire connector, carefully disconnect it. The whole process takes about 15 minutes, and once done, the trunk instantly feels more spacious, making cleaning or moving stuff super convenient. I also added a protective pad to safeguard the interior. Don’t leave tools lying around to avoid scratching the paint. Pro tip: regularly lubricate the bolts to extend their lifespan.
I tried removing the rear seats of the Zotye T700 to clean the carpet, and it was quite simple. Method: First, slide the seats all the way forward to create more space. Then, remove the headrest by pressing a button. The key is at the bottom of the seat—find a gap to pry open the plastic cover, and you'll see the bolts inside. Use regular tools to loosen them, then gently lift the seat upwards. Be careful not to yank any wires; if there are any, handle them slowly. After removal, place the seats in a clean spot to avoid scratching the interior. Safety tip: Operate with the engine off and wear gloves throughout to prevent cuts. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, instantly creating more space for cleaning or loading. Remember to press firmly when reinstalling.
