NikpV Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Hi I have a 2010 ford galaxy how do you completely remove the rear seats thanks Its all in the manual and it is easier to explain with pictures but here goes.... 1. Push all the rear passenger headrests down - you need to squeeze the release button located on the n/s plastic trim where the n/s headrest steel mount goes into the top of the seat back at the same time as pushing the headrest down. 2. put all the rear passenger seat backs down - middle and back rows - by lifting the small lever located between the back and base on the side opposite the seat belt clip - alternately these same levers stick out rear of the seat and can be pushed downwards when behind the seats to release the backs. 3. starting with the middle row, flip the base of each seat up and forward by either pulling up the large lever located on the side of the base at floor level, or alternatively pulling the red loop located under the seat from behind toward the rear of the vehicle. If you look under the rear seats from the rear hatch you will see the red fabric loops and can try it out. 4. with all seats standing on end, work from the back and hold the top of the seat with one hand and with the other hand squeeze together the two horizontal metal bars which were under the seat but should now be facing you. This will release the latches holding the seat in the floor. At the same time push the top forward to lift the latches clear of the floor and release the bars. 5. Carefully lift the seats out the car - the seats are very heavy so dont try to remove the rear row of seats through the side doors unless you are strong enough to hold these seats and juggle them at arms length otherwise you will likely do some expensive damage to the paintwork.. Women and weak men will probably require assistance to lift these seats out of the car (No offence intended but they are pretty heavy) so its the same for a mk3 galaxy then ??? assuming that a 2010 galaxy is a mk3 :-) Quote
seatkid Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) so its the same for a mk3 galaxy then ??? assuming that a 2010 galaxy is a mk3 :-) WOAH THERE...., late last night (early morning) I swear this topic was in the Mk1/2 section - I'm sure I did check 2 or 3 times... did'nt I? - why is it now in the Mk3 section? My instructions only apply to Mk1/Mk2 models. Something strange going on here... I have deleted my answer..... Edited April 12, 2012 by seatkid Quote
gregers Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 i didnt think the rear seats could be removed easily?like on the previous mk's.hence the new design for them to fold into the floor.the idea on the rears(smax included)is when folded they make the floor flat. Quote

Yeah sorry SEATKID I saw the 2010 date and moved it, then went off and did something else before I read your replies Quote
scooper1 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Posted April 14, 2012 rear seat can be unbolted to remove completely - best to put bolts back in holes so bottom of car remains sealed. I have a sliding tray in back of my 2011 galaxy taken from a smax - fits very well plus room under tray lots of junk .... Quote
Weimster Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 Why can't you just lay them all flat? Removing them completely will be a real task. Quote
