2 Answers
Open the rear door of the car, then lift the locking position of the rear seat upwards to remove the rear seat. Pull the unlocking switch of the rear seatback, then pull it to recline the rear seatback. Open the trunk of the car, then unscrew the fixing screws of the hinges to complete the removal.
I just bought a new car not long ago, and it was quite a fresh experience removing the rear seat cushions for the first time, usually done for cleaning or installing child seats. First, identify how the cushions are secured—typically there are clips or hooks at the front. You need to squat down, press the front part of the cushion upward with your hands, and give a gentle push until you hear a click, then release. Methods vary by car model; for example, sedans might only require lifting the front end, while SUVs often need you to pry open the side slots as well. Move gently and avoid using excessive force to prevent breaking the clips. I’ve tried wrapping tools with towels to avoid scratching the interior. After removal, check if the clips are intact, and inspect the tracks if there’s any unusual noise. It’s advisable to consult the vehicle manual or search for video tutorials for a more visual guide. Regularly removing and cleaning the seats can extend their lifespan and reduce odor buildup.
