  1. Nor-Cal Vans converts the Transit Connect into a wheelchair accessible van which requires us to remove the third row seats of LWB Transit Connects. We have a surplus of seats and would like to offer them to anyone who may need them. All seats are brand new and come with rails, hardware, and seat belts. We have a variety of seats including XLT, XL, cloth, vinyl, stone, and black. Please check with us to see if we have the style you're looking for available. Price is $100 for a pair of seats (minimum of 2 seats per order) to cover handling costs. Please contact us to determine pricing on shipping. Call us at 866-892-0150 and ask for Matt.

  2. When I was researching my 2015 TC purchase I saw mention of removable seats in the online manual. After I ended up buying a LWB wagon, I was surprised when I saw no way to just pop out the seats. It turns out only the short wheel base 5 passenger version has the removable 2nd row seats. However, I decided to remove the seats in my wagon anyway to install the seat covers. Each seat is held in with four T50 bolts and only takes a few minutes to remove. The 3rd row seats have the bolts at each corner of the seat frame and you do need to slide the seat forward and back to access each set of two. The second row seats have pairs of bolts at the front end of each seat rail. These are easy to access with the seat unfolded. Once the bolts are removed it does take a little lifting and wiggling to break the seats loose because there are also locating posts on the bottom of the rails that fit into holes in the floor. But once these are popped out, the seats just lift out. With just myself, the wider part of the 2nd row was a bit heavy but the others were no problem. It is easier to lift out the 2nd row if you fold them flat after unbolting. In the end, I liked the extra space available with the seats out so decided to leave it that way since I rarely have more than one passenger. I've been slowly working on modifications over the last couple weeks making a flat load floor for the area and using the extra space for storage. I probably need to do a write up with photos to share the info.
