Topic: Does the Rear seats in Kombi Easy Remove Posted: 07 May 07 at 18:38 |
Hi
Thinking of buying kombi can any one tell me if the seats remove easly to to make bigger load area. if not, might as well just buy standard van spec
the extra seats would be handy now and again.
Thanks

Hi wulmar
the single seat comes out fairly easily as a one man lift, the twin seat really needs two people to lift it out but what i do to increase the load space is to roll it forward and keep the front feet in the groove and use a load strap to keep it in place

I've got the triple bench seat in mine. In the 3 and a bit years Ive had the van the seats only been out twice. Its definately a 2man lift to get out. The seat easily folds down on itself and then folds forward to rest on the back of the front seats (best to remove headrests). Ive never needed to strap the seat in place like that, I found it just sits in the floor mount.

Hi Wulmar
I have the 2 and 1 set-up. The single seat is easy to remove the 2 seat removes easily and you can remove it on your own but it is a little awkward/heavy. Fitting them, well that is another subject altogether. Took a mechanic friend and me 2.5hrs.

Mine is the same, 2+1, there is a knack to fitting 'em back in. Unfortunately I always forget the 'knack' and there follows much cursing until, as though by magic, they click into place!

Good reason to go for the triple seat then.
