Going out one aunt takes the back seat of a car (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonneau

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the back seat of a car' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'going out one aunt' is the wordplay.
'going out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'one'+'aunt'='oneaunt'
'oneaunt' anagrammed gives 'TONNEAU'.

'takes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tonneau that I've seen before include "Protective cover for open car" , "Seat cover" , "Rear of an open carriage" , "back of the car" , "Part of open car behind front seats" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
