Thanks to jokinawa for service manual documents, the process is easier than I thought. The armrest position is key and just one bolt removal, some pulling and they're off!

Awesome! I may be the next to try this. Did you happen to send a 7 year old and a 14 year old through there to gauge if the width is enough to allow third row access?

My 7 and 9 year olds have been fitting through there to put their various junk in the 3rd row. I can get through too — by just stepping over the armrests. It’s not perfect, but it’s a heck of a lot easier than the GLs I’ve come from.

I tried putting those trim pieces back on the arm rests before I put them in storage and they wouldn’t stay snugly on. guess I’ll deal with that down the road Last edited by ppagiga; 05-09-2019 at 08:10 PM.. |

Would be nice if BMW or an aftermarket conversion kit be made available to convert the captains to a bench so that you could have the best of both. Just some insert to be put in place of the arm rests to allow someone to sit there would do it.

Only beef is that the oblong plastic cover that is on the chair (where the arm rest was) occasionally pops off and falls to the floor |
