It wound up being such poor video, I didn't think it would be helpful, so I never posted it. I do love the resulting cargo area; I use it all the time. Well worth the effort.

 

Re-starting this thread... 2 questions:

1) Anyone who removed the 3rd row seat assembly (both seats together) know the weight of the 3rd row seats -- @sarek perhaps you might know?
2) I see folks made their own flooring to replace where the seats were. (some very cool kit indeed ..) ... but is it not possible to just swap in the floor / trims from a 5 seater car?

Thanks

 

The side trim pieces are different between the 7 seater and 5 seater. You can buy the different trim pieces but they are slightly longer and hit the second row seats. Also the second row seats and how they are mounted are different.

I bought the trim pieces that go with the second row and just trimmed them to fit. Cut off about 3 inches. I did this so I could mount my travall drawer

 

Ah, that makes sense. Second row seat mounts on the sides are different indeed. Thank you.

 

The shipping label said the item weighed 84 pounds. That included a half of a wooden pallet that I attached the seats to for shipping. That may have added 4 or 5 pounds? You might be able to swap in the trims from a 5 seater (there definitely are some differences in the side trims), but I wound up with a lot more usable space by customizing. Good luck!

 

 

If anyone has successfully done this mod, I would be interested in acquiring the third row seats
