Many Lada Vesta owners were faced with the need to dismantle the rear sofa and the entire seat. To do this, we contacted a car service. But, this procedure is carried out quite easily and simply with your own hands.

The video will show how quickly and without unnecessary hassle you can dismantle the rear seat, and will also tell you about some of the nuances and subtleties of the process.
Why remove the back seat?
General view of the rear seat.
Of course, before considering the issue of carrying out the process of dismantling the rear seat of the Lada Vesta, it is necessary to understand in what cases this procedure will be needed.
So, let's consider in more detail in what cases it will be necessary to remove the sofa and the back of the car:
- To replace upholstery . This is often done when tissue elements are damaged. This could be holes burnt by cigarettes, spilled liquids, an accidentally torn surface, or, in extreme cases, a fire inside the car.
- Carrying out repair and restoration work on the body . It often happens that after a traffic accident, the rear part of the vehicle is damaged and deformations appear along the bottom of the cabin. This also includes side impacts in the area of the B-pillar and rear pillar.
- Replacement of upholstery or seats during the process of tuning and modification of the interior. In this case, you just need to remove the sofa and the back of the rear seat.
- Pasting soundproofing will also require dismantling the rear seat, since it is necessary to get to the bottom of the car.
- Other factors that will require dismantling the rear sofa and backrest.
Removing the rear seat of a Lada Vesta
The process of removing the rear seat on a Lada Vesta is quite simple and quite typical for all vehicles of the VAZ family. This procedure can be carried out in one pair of hands and requires minimal tools.
Let's consider the sequence of actions aimed at dismantling the rear seat:
- Of course, the manufacturer recommends removing the negative terminal from the battery when carrying out all repair and restoration operations. But, in this case, this is not necessary, so we will skip this operation.
- Let's start dismantling. First you need to dismantle the sofa. To do this, lift it up to remove it from the clamps.
Location of the rear sofa seat latch.
Location of the rear sofa fastenings.
Rear seat back bolt locations.
Location of the rear backrest fastenings.
The installation process is identical to the dismantling process in reverse order.
Finally got the front seats down!
Everything turned out to be very simple. We look under the seat and on the rail that is closer to the door we see a stop into which the folding tongue rests. The metal there is thick, it’s unlikely to be able to bend it without damaging the rail, so I used a drill and a metal cutting disc. After this intervention, the front seats receive the missing 5 cm of travel forward and the back rests flush with the rear sofa.

She can lie down anyway, you just need to roll the seat by pulling the backrest adjuster all the way :))). And you have a potentially dangerous device, God forbid there is an accident, you risk driving forward along with the seat
