this video is super helpful; thank you so much for making it. Just bought a gmc acadia and didn't know the seats fold up that way with the lever or that the battery was back there. ended up taking my car to the shop to have them unbolt the seats since I dont have an impact gun. love the fit check in the middle, my daughter just turned 13.
Wish u had a final picture of the inside after seats are out so I can see if worth it for space because I dont use them. I may remove the 3rd row seat instead and one from 2nd row (mine are buckets on 2nd row). Thank u for this!
@@attikus881 I did not even think about taking a picture of the inside with them removed, sorry. It does open the space up a lot with them removed. I actually took all the seats out to do a deep cleaning of the carpet. Our kids pretty much grew up with this traverse for the past 11 years. They lefts lots of goodies embedded on, under, and in the carpet!!!
I was thinking about taking the single seat out to get easy access to the back. The kids usually just climb over the seat rather than folding it down because it doesn't fold down right
@@Jake-li7ih 10-4 or you could take it out and possibly fix it. We use ours when our kids invite their friends on long trips. I was lucky enough to be able to repair ours with an easy fix. (Its on a different video).
which model year, or model years does this apply to? FWIW, a few years back I converted an Equinox to a car/camper by removing seating. Considering doing the same with a Traverse.
@@ECF_Scoot9961 I’m not sure, but I don’t see why it would not be possible. I’m sure you would have to replace the carpet and rugs to cover the exposed center section though.
@@MarleeHinkle-t2x it’s just a few bolts that hold them in as well. I actually took all the seats out to perform a deep cleaning on the carpet. Front seats are the hardest, especially if the wiring recall was performed where they soldered the wires together. Some cutting and splicing has to be done.
Watching again to reinstall the floor covers! Thank you.

@@locopoko this was performed on a 2012 Chevy traverse. With all the rear seats removed it is very spacious back there.
Can you take this out, and then put captain seats in?
@@ECF_Scoot9961 I’m not sure, but I don’t see why it would not be possible. I’m sure you would have to replace the carpet and rugs to cover the exposed center section though.
Is there anyway to remove the seats without undoing the bolts and tracks?
@@lauraspackman7640 not that I can see. I’m pretty certain it is a complete assembly (tracks and seat).
I need the 3rd row removed

oh I thought it would be a simple job no tools required
@@blakespower lol, some tools and heavy lifting required.
