It is necessary to remove car seats when installing covers, as well as for repairs or modifications to the interior. The process is not complicated, but it has some features that are best known in advance. For example, in addition to the usual tool (14 head), you will also need a Torx T40 (asterisk). Let's look at the process of removing Vesta seats.

Main seat faults on Lada Vesta

They become unusable for several reasons:

• The sled creaks, stopping the movement. This can be corrected by adding lubricant to the mechanism.
• Faulty backrest and height adjustment. Mechanical adjustment can always be repaired.
• Violation of the integrity of the upholstery of the chair, you will feel it, because the fasteners of the frame will rest against the back. Replacing the chair will correct the situation. If you order a replacement from a dealer under warranty, you need to check that the new seat matches the old one in terms of parameters: the same texture, there is (or is not) a heating element, etc.

At the back of the armrest, we bend the factory upholstery a little and there is a zipper there, unfasten it and remove it a little. IMPORTANT - the armrest must be in the down position. Now we take Torx T40, there will be one bolt - unscrew it, don’t be afraid.

As soon as we have removed the bolt, we raise the armrest to the highest possible position “all the way” and begin to remove it, pulling it from side to side.

Start. Removing the front seat

Seat bolts and wires

That’s it, now you can safely remove the seat (I vacuumed it in one go, since that’s the case here :D). I vacuumed with a Soviet car vacuum cleaner, which I got from my grandfather (I will attach a photo later). The front passenger seat is removed in the same way and is no different. It’s more convenient to start putting on the covers from the bottom of the seat, just take them and pull them on.

Plastic inserts

Plastic inserts 2

Where there are plastic inserts, we simply insert the covers into them carefully (I did not remove these inserts). We pull the hooks from below and hook them under the seat from below.

Attaching covers to the seat

The lower part of the seat is ready. There is nothing complicated at the top either. We take the cover, pull it on top, push it between the seats and also pull them, where there are ropes we pull and tie.

Headrest 1

Headrest 2

Finished front seat

The driver's seat is ready! There is no point in describing the process for the passenger one; it is similar and not fundamentally different. Let’s move on to the rear seats, where a number of nuances also await us. We remove the head restraints by pressing a special “button” located next to each of them and remove them one by one.

Removing the rear sofa

We begin removal from the bottom cushion; there is a fastener on each side (visible in the photo above).

Fastening on which the lower cushion is held in front

You need to carefully grab and pull straight vertically upward, they should snap off.

Mount 1

Mount 2

Mount 3

Rear seat bottom cushion

This is the largest element, everything is tightened very simply and simply, you just need to pull it tightly and tie it tightly with ropes.

Rear seat belt attachment

With the upper seats, it was decided not to remove them; fortunately, it’s already possible to put them on normally. The only thing that gets in the way is the central seat belt, where you need to unscrew one bolt (Photo above).

Rear sofa

It turns out something like this, then we put the seat belt back again and screw the bolt into place. The bottom cushion is inserted in the same way as when removing it, only in the opposite direction. First you need to push it as far back as possible so that the latches go into place, then lower the pillow and gently press it into the holes.

The front seats are installed in the same way as they were disassembled: do not forget to snap all the fasteners, connect the wires in their places and screw the seats with 4 bolts. Those who have the equipment with an armrest: you need to install it on the seat in a vertical position, lower it to the lowest possible position and screw on one single bolt, tie it tightly with ropes so that the cover fits tightly.

General view of the rear seats

The final result can be seen in the photo above. I’m very pleased with the result, it’s a very pleasant feeling when you sit on the seat and the appearance has now definitely changed for the better! Of course, it will be more difficult for one person to pull on the covers, but it’s easier and more efficient for two people.

But having seen so many things, there is no trust in them, yet you yourself will definitely do better and conscientiously, and you will also save money! Good luck to everyone!

Rear seat layout

To fold the rear seat on a Vesta, pull the lock on the backrest up. As a result, the rear seats fold almost horizontally, but there is no flat floor. The folded backrest is approximately 10-15 cm higher than the level of the trunk floor. Alternatively, raise the trunk floor (raised floor).

LADA reveals the interior of the new LADA Vesta SW Cross and LADA Vesta SW, which combine expressive design and versatility. Bright and fast, these cars embody a new philosophy of comfort and functionality, complementing the model range of one of the most popular cars on the Russian market - LADA Vesta.

The interior of LADA Vesta SW Cross and LADA Vesta SW is made in a single concept with the body design and represents a real living space. Especially for Vesta SW Cross, designers created a bright orange color scheme for the interior design - these cheerful accents are used on the doors, dashboard and seat upholstery. Stylish lighting decorated the dashboard - the instrument cluster scales now have an orange border.

Equipment that was previously unavailable and, as a rule, used on models of a higher class deserves special attention. This is the first introduced three-stage heated front seats, a center console with an armrest and a storage box, equipped with a USB port, a socket and buttons for heated rear seats, a rear center armrest with cup holders.

Thanks to the use of a new concept in the body design, the space above the heads of the rear passengers was increased by 2.5 cm, and the back of the rear sofa folds in a ratio of 1/3 to 2/3. The luggage compartment of the car is a multifunctional space, equipped with a double floor, an organizer, three nets for securing cargo, and various niches. The luggage compartment volume, taking into account the niches, is 480 liters (up to the curtain shelf), including 95 liters under the false floor, and the luggage compartment volume with the second row seats folded (up to the window sill line) is 825 liters. The luggage compartment is accessed using a button located on the trunk lid.
