So i was bored this afternoon and taught i wonder how hard it is to take out the third row seats.
The whole job took me about 30mins once i worked out how to take it apart, Next time it would be a 15min job
Tools Needed
Step 1.
Using a 10mm Socket remove the 2 rear tie downs

Step 2.
Lift the flap off the door and put your hand underneath, Lift up to remove, this is just clipped in.

Step 3.
Remove the rubber seal around the bottom of the door.
With a 10mm socket remove the 3 bolts holding the rear step trip to the false floor support

Remove the rear step trim. To do this i found it easier to use two screwdrivers and leaver the clip on either side until it popped out. Once you remove the first one the rest remove much easier, be careful not to scratch the paint

This is what it looks like once removed

Step 4.
Unclip the remaining trims on the left and right side
Image-7
You will be left with just the seats and the false floor support

Step 5.
With a 10mm socket remove the remaining bolts on the false floor support
Image-9
Then remove the Left and right support with a 10mm socket
Image-10
Step 6.
Unbolt the 4 bolts on each seat (8 in total)
One on the far back left/right
Image-11
Two in the middle back
Image-12
Four at the front
Image-13
First Seat removed
Image-14
Both seats removed
Image-15
Very easy and nothing to stress about, remember if you put the seats back in you will need to tighten them to the appropriate torque and apply locktight.
