The method for removing the rear seats of a Passat is: Pull the seat backward, and after pulling, you will see a protruding object in the front with a through-hole screw on top. Then remove it, and the rear seat can be taken off. Taking the 2021 Passat as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4933mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, and a body weight of 1470kg. The 2021 Passat features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, front-wheel drive, and is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 110kW.
I've removed the rear seats of my Passat several times myself—it's quite simple but requires care. First, locate the pull loop or small handle under the seat, usually found beneath the front edge, and pull upward firmly to release the bottom cushion. The seatback is secured to the car, possibly with hooks or bolts; most Passat models feature metal hooks that can be detached with a gentle wiggle. During removal, check for any wiring or heating elements to avoid damage. I also wear gloves to prevent scratches and make sure to clean any dust or debris under the seats afterward. Regular removal and maintenance help prevent sticking issues and extend the seat's lifespan.
