Tools You’ll Need:

Step-by-Step Guide to Disassemble a Seat Using ZipSeat

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Ensure your car is parked on a flat surface. Clear the surrounding area to give yourself room to work comfortably. Disconnect the car battery to avoid triggering airbag systems during disassembly.

2. Position the ZipSeat Extractor

Place the ZipSeat extractor under the seat where the anchor points or retaining clips are located. The tool is specifically designed to latch onto these points with ease.

3. Apply Controlled Pressure

Use the ZipSeat handle or trigger to apply slow, steady pressure. This allows the tool to safely separate the seat from its mount without tearing the fabric or damaging fasteners.

4. Lift and Remove the Seat

Once loosened, gently lift the seat out of its position. If necessary, use the extractor on the opposite side to release any remaining clips.

5. Clean and Inspect

After removal, inspect the mounting area for debris or damage. Clean it before reinstallation or further repair work.

Tips for Better Results

  • Always read the ZipSeat user manual before use.
  • Don’t rush the extraction process—steady pressure is key.
  • Use both hands for better control and safety.
