what do do with rear seats

[ScottinMA]

ScottinMA-- Damn, you mis-read my advice and selected the wrong method!!! Option-B is the "preferred method" and the rear seat brackets should remain in-place and not be removed. The PITA difficulties you encountered with the bracket removal only helps solidify my point.

Only the horizontal "pivoting retaining pins" should be removed as described in Option-B, and then re-inserted to prevent possible loss of the "pins". The brackets (now empty) then become forward mounted Tie-Down Anchor Points for interior cargo (to complement the other OEM anchor points within the VX cargo area).

No I didn't mis-read your post. Option B is the "easy" way to do it. I tend to seek the most abusive, arduous and frustrating path. Pulling those pins would have been too easy and then I would have had all that free time when I could have been pulling my hair out and screaming at the damn bolt! Besides, I wanted those brackets out of there. Now if only I can find a oriental rug and hookah for my new den of iniquity....

ScottinMA--- Hmmm, I fully understand now. Thank you for that clarification.

Rekin I'm one of the only ones who actually use the back seat. Mine remain where they belong ... solidly mounted in the VX.
