Hello
Have just gotten a 2013 Crew and will not be using the 3rd row bench seat. Are there directions available for the removal of the seat from the vehicle? Everything I'm finding online just refers to the stow n go function for folding it into the floor.

Thanks in advance,

In case the link doesn't work for you:

Removal

1. With the third row seat folded into the floor well, use trim stick C-4755 or equivalent to disengage the clips (1) that secure the anchor molding (3) to the seat frame.

2. Remove the bolts (1) that secure the front of the seat to the floor panel.

3. Raise the seat to the upright position.

4. Remove the bolts (1) that secure the hinges at the rear of the seat to the floor panel in the sequence shown and remove the rear seat.

Note that it appears to be for the 2005-2007 minivans, but the 2008+ rear seats are very similar.

Thanks, I'll try that this afternoon and report back.
Worked fine. You just unbolt the top ones first with the seat folded into the floor and then swing the seat up to access the lower bolts. Much thanks.

Well if there was an easy way I assume it would be included in the owner's manual and I wouldn't be asking here. We haul a full load great distances so removing the seat entirely will give us much more cargo space and reduce unnecessary weight.

Perhaps I should rephrase the question: does anyone know the proper sequence for removing the retaining bolts securing the seat to the floor and storage well?
