D3 Seat Removal (6&7) to create storage
Has anyone removed the back row of seats to create some additional storage to free up the whole boot space?Cogito ergo sum!

Yep, mine are currently residing in the dining room and load deck fitted. Don’t expect to gain much useful space though.

Pic or rear with 3rd row removed, gives an idea of the space you’d gain.

You know I've never actually lifted mine so never seen how small they actually are.
Now I've seen how little space I'd gain I'm wondering if it's worth it. Ta for pictures though, very helpful.Cogito ergo sum!

Yep, not a lot of space under there, plus you’d have to sort out a deck and access through it. The only advantage of not having seats and having a deck, apart from not lugging all that weight around, is it’s a lot easier to get the spare down.

The odd bit or two original bits still on the car. Only 3rd row seats, middle row seats (both in dining room), original wheels in the garage and a few bits & bobs from fitting the 2nd battery in the man cave/junk room. That may change if she needs stripped.

Done is for my Spain trip a few years ago , I wouldn't bother , I've still got a HUGE hernia from when I put them back in and waiting for another opp to sort it -------------------------------------------------

They are indeed very heavy and difficult to move around.
