How to remove rear seat Chevrolet Sonic 2012-2020

In this video, I show you only the exact location of the release latches and mounting points for removing the rear seat on a 2012-2020 Chevrolet Sonic.

Seeing exactly where these hidden clips and brackets are located will save you a lot of time and protect you from accidentally breaking plastic trim pieces during your DIY project.

Common Reasons and Symptoms for Removing the Rear Seat:

• Accessing the fuel pump assembly or fuel tank sending unit located underneath the seat cushion
• Finding the source of mysterious interior rattles, squeaks, or clunking noises coming from the rear suspension area
• Dealing with structural issues like a jammed, stuck, or broken rear seatback fold mechanism
• Deep cleaning or removing dampness, mold, or spilled liquids that have seeped under the upholstery

Safety First

Always put safety first when working inside the cabin. Be careful when lifting and maneuvering the seats out of the vehicle, as the metal frames can have sharp edges and the assemblies are heavier than they look. Protect yourself by wearing safety glasses and durable work gloves, and keep your full attention focused on the task to avoid scratching your car’s interior trim.
