Isn't the whole point of Stow-n-Go that you don't have to remove them? Out of curiosity, why would you want them removed?

LOL. Did you ask the question just so you could use that?

Ha ha, well sorta. But I like going for high MPG and less weight can help with that. Also....it's just me, my wife, a dog, and some skis/snowboards/bikes/etc. so we pretty much never have the seats up anyway. If it's relatively easy....I wanna do it.
Doesn't look like it's too terrible.
Katzkin (they make leather seat covers) has a document for removal of the seats in the Pacifica:

See page 6. Doesn't look too terrible. They do note that the mechanism is sharp and to be careful while removing.

Super easy. Use the hand lever on the side to fold in half. After folding, there is a strap in the middle of the seat in the back. Simply lift. All done. =]
Welcome to the forum.
You must have a hybrid since you mention removal of second row seats that don't stow. Post #6 in this thread has a link with instructions on how to remove the stowable seats.
If you put your van info in the signature line of account settings it will show up at the bottom of your posts and will help us answer your questions easier if you have any.
You can download more extensive owner's manuals from the Mopar website if desired.

Hybrid doesn't have stow n go second row seats.
Welcome to the forum. You are correct that the hybrid doesn't have stow n go seats. There have been some members who desire to remove the rear seats for various reasons.
If you put your van info in the signature line of account settings it will show up at the bottom of your posts and will help us answer your questions easier in the future.
Here's the result from the OP removing the rear LX seats for anyone interested.
The back seats weigh 100#'s
I removed the back seats on my LX van and weighed then, 62# for the bigger one, 39# for the smaller one. They came out really easily with just 4 big bolts for each side and it looks like they will go back in just about as easily. Just a little FYI :)

Did you ever succeed in removing your seats? I just originated another discussion specifically mentioning seat removal for van life. If you can help, I'd appreciate it.

I've only removed the rear seats, not the middle row. It looked...maybe possible? But I found I needed them enough to keep them. Still, just removing the rear seats opened up a fair bit of space back there and saved 100#'s too.

Thank you for your reply. That 60% seat weighs a ton! Unfortunately the 40% seat is stuck. Today I'm going to try to remove it, too. That big pit back there will come in super handy for storing cargo.
