Re: Seat Removal
Hi,

I struggle with mine everytime taking the 3rd row seats out, the 2 sides are different so that is normal

Step1 - Remove the 2 plastic covers on the side
Step2 - Fold back of 3rd row seat flat using side lever or knob on back of seat as required
Step3 - Disconnect feet of 3rd row seat where it connects to the floor using the lever on the side(close to the 2nd row seats)
Step4 - Place 3rd row seat down so that the base touches the carpet and it is no longer connected with it's feet to the floor (if you had to blace a ball on ths eat it would roll towards the 2nd row seat) - this action disengages the mechanism and the seat should be able to be removed
Step5 - Slide the entire 3rd row seats out

Hope that helps

David

Hi Karl,

Here is the content from the post, I can access it fine :-):

Fold the seat forward and undo the 4 bolts in the seat frame mounting it to the floor and lift it out 4x 14mm bolts frrom memory and there are pins in the floor that will stop the seat from falling over. Job should take all of 10 minutes.

another comment from the same post:

I've done this to increase storage. I also installed a flat floor to make the space more useable. All that is involved is 4 bolts down through the floor. Make sure you replace the bolts in the holes or cover the holes with good water proof tape. Don't strain your back lifting the seat. It's not light and the rhs one is even worse


Doesn't look too difficult, just the seat sounds heavy
Re: Seat Removal
so does this mean that on the LWB, the seat bolts are independent from those of the shock? (which seems to be the case with the SWB)...
