Lada Priora (Gen 1, Sedan): Rear Seat Removal

The Priora's rear seat consists of two parts: the cushion (seat bottom) and the seatback. The cushion is held by front latch hooks on floor brackets. The seatback is hooked at the top onto the rear shelf and secured at the bottom. It can be removed without taking off the upholstery and without any special tools.

  • 10 mm socket or wrench (if your car has bolted seatback mounts)
  • screwdriver
  • soft cloth

Step by step

10 steps
  1. Park the car on a level surface and set the parking brake. Open the rear doors fully. Remove any items and seat covers from the seat.
  2. Remove the cushion. Grab its front edge at the base (closest to the front seats). Pull up sharply and firmly: the front latches will pop out of the floor brackets.
  3. With the front edge lifted, slide the cushion toward you and pull it out from under the seatback. Place it on a folded cloth so you don't scratch the upholstery.
  4. Inspect the cushion hooks and the floor brackets. Straighten or replace any bent or broken brackets.
  5. Remove the seatback. Inspect the lower part of the seatback. If there are mounting bolts or 10 mm nuts, remove them. If it is held only by hooks, lift the seatback from the bottom upward.
  6. Tilt the seatback forward and up so the upper hooks come out of the catches on the trunk shelf. Take the seatback out through the door opening or through the trunk.
  7. If the seatback folds, make sure the seatback latches in the trunk and any cables or linkages (if present) aren't blocking removal. Don't yank it with force; find what is holding it.
  8. Install in reverse order. Engage the seatback's upper hooks in the shelf catches and lower it down, then secure the lower mounts. Tighten the bolts, if present, to 10-20 N·m (7-15 lb-ft) (use the exact value specified by the manufacturer).
  9. Install the cushion. Slide its rear edge under the seatback and press the front part down firmly until both latches click. Pull upward to confirm the cushion doesn't come off.
  10. Check the seat belts: the rear belts and buckles must come out through the slots freely, without twisting.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • The rear seat belts and their buckles are passive safety components
  • After installation, check that they work and latch properly
  • If in doubt, take the car to a repair shop
  • Don't apply excessive force to the plastic clips: they break easily, especially in cold weather
