rnt80 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I just registered and have poked around for a few minutes without any success in finding an answer to what is probably a stupid question. The gentleman I spoke to at one of the dealerships said the seats are removeable but he didn't sound too confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohair Maniac Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You will need a torx wrench. If you go to the older postings there is some information. I think it is on page two. I am going to see if my dealership will remove mine while it is in for it's first maintenance. We don't have the wrench and it may be cheaper to have it done at the dealership than buying the wrench.

Willie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Torx head wrenches are certainly not expensive. I bought a small set for much less than $10. It should be mentioned that all the bolts are accessed from the passenger compartment with no need to crawl under the van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikehauler Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) rnt80, I've taken my seats out a couple times already. Ford doesn't seem to advertise that as a feature, but it's fairly easy. You need a #50 Torx wrench or ratchet bit. The twin seat has four bolts and the single seat has two bolts. Don't bother with the small screws that you will see--they only hold the plastic coverings onto the metal base and don't go all the way through. The twin seat is quite heavy, however, so be warned. I'd say it weighs about twice that of a Jeep Wrangler jump seat. ETA: Willie touched on something I should have mentioned because it might not be all that obvious--simply fold the seats all the way up, and the bolts will be visible in the base plates.

eddiet5 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yes you can remove them, however it is a bit of a tricky job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
