  1. I have a 2015 Wagon and it was possible to ge an almost perfectly flat floor with the seats folded properly. Sometimes the seat latch doesn't quite hit cross bar to lock in the folded position and that could cause the seat to stick up slightly. But lifting it back up and pushing slightly forward or back as you push it back down will get the latch to hit and lock. And 250# should be no problem in most instances. The only real weak spot was the "flip over" section that spans the gap between the second and third row seats when folded. Too much of a point load in this area could damage the relatively unsupported panel. The rest of the panels are fastened to the seat frames and seem much stronger. Although in the end I ended up removing the seats entirely, I do think the TC has one of best implementations of a flat cargo area for a vehicle that still has rear seating. The operating sequence could use some simplifying but is still very quick to switch between passengers and cargo. And if you ever need to remove the seats entirely, it's just undo 4 bolts per seat base and lift out. I did it in under an hour and most of that time was spent trying to manhandle the second row out by myself. With a second set of hands, easily under 30 minutes.

  2. The third row folds flat and the second row seat folds and moves forward and will be flat. The space between the wheel house is 47+ inches.

  3. Then for the install Bolted in Mat cut out, this was myu last chance to call it all off. Trim installed. I fairly happy with the way the trim looks but know sooner or later something will catch on the corners, they stick up just enough to snag something. Any suggestions? The door was dropped into place and secured with the knob beneath. Its a little snug but I think it will loosen up with a little use. If it doesn't I'll have to take it out and sand it a little. I put reflective tape on the bottom of the hatch. It could be removed and used as a warning signal while changing a tire or other roadside emergency.

    Cargo area vent?

    Take a look at our forum member NWCamperman's fan installation http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/gallery/image/561-fantastic-fan/ , he is using windguy's Fantastic Vent/Fan suggestion.
