Any reason not to remove rear jump seat?
 

I could use some extra space for toting gear.

Any reason not to remove the driver's side jump seat? If I remove it, will trim pieces fall off or any other negative consequences?

No, i think it all came out fine when I had to do it to get at my dead tail light. The little brackets remain, I/m not sure if you can remove them too, but nothing will fall off, they don't hold anything on.

I will tell you that it was a major pain getting at several of the torx screws to get them out. Lots of swearing and inventive universal and extension combination hijinx.
