The method for removing the rear seat cushion of a Santana is as follows: 1. Locate the handles on both sides of the rear seat near the windows, pull the handles, and the backrest of the rear seat can be folded forward; 2. Push the seat cushion towards the rear of the car and lift it upwards to remove it. Taking the 2021 Santana as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The 2021 Santana features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Removing the rear seat cushion of a Santana is actually quite simple. Let me explain the steps. First, locate the bottom ends of the rear seat cushion, where there are usually clips or plastic fasteners. Use your hands to pull the front part upwards directly, applying a bit of force to lift it, and the seat will pop up. Remember to do it smoothly and avoid yanking forcefully to prevent damaging the clips. For older Santana models, you might need to flip the rear seat cushion to find hooks or bolts and release them. Once removed, you can clean or repair it. When reinstalling, just align it properly and snap it back into place. At the car shop, I've seen many people damage seat cushions, mostly because they rush and don't find the right spots. I recommend checking the manual or watching a tutorial video first. It's also a good idea to wear gloves to protect your hands, as the plastic edges can be sharp. The whole process takes just a few minutes and doesn't require any special tools.
