Removed rear seats from 6 or 7 seater?

[j-rho]

Hello,
Imagine the process is the same for 6 and 7 seater. I have a 6 seater where the rearmost seats are rarely used, but the extra space would be of frequent help.

Has anyone ever had removed, or removed themselves, the rearmost seats? A lot of minivans and SUVs make this possible. Looking for tips, tricks, pitfalls. And hoping the car doesn't freak out when they're out.

Thanks!!

Why don’t you just fold them down? Removing them won’t give you a lot more space.

Not enough space, even when folded and second row slid forward.

They're pretty easy to get out, but you will have to deal with a ! on your dash. Just go through the parts catalog, there's not that much to it.

Won't the "!" error stop your car from getting updates? As in you have to fix any faults before updates will install.

I have no idea. It’s not something I recommend doing, but mechanically it’s not that difficult. Doing it the “right” way would probably involve some more in depth removal/modification of sensors and harnesses and factory reprogramming.
