How to Remove a Minivan Seat 

I am ridiculously grateful that you made this. I've had a 2003 Dodge Caravan and for the past three years I've had to remove the seats and bench for the summer and replace them in the winter. Every time I've had to reinstall the seats and bench it's been a nightmare since the manual's directions could not be less helpful. And of course, once accomplished I'd forget how to do it by the time the next autumn rolled around. Fortunately this year I found your video and it's saved me a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. You did a superb job of conveying the surprisingly tricky essentials of the bench installation. And happily for me I'm now selling my Caravan so I will never, ever have to grapple with this PITA task ever again! You have a real gift for clear communication, and I'm sincerely appreciative you took time to create this video.

A very informative video that makes much more sense than the owner's manual. I think maybe you have taken yours out numerous times. Thanks

OMG thank you for this. I just bought a 2003 Dodge Caravan and accidentally took the seat out while seeing what the latches do. It was an absolute nightmare because I didn’t know how to get it back in place, I ended up damaging the plastic as you showed but I was just so relieved when I got it back in place. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! My grandpa gave me his 2000 dodge caravan and ive been trying to remove the seat for the past hour to use as a little couch for my new apartment haha. No where in the manual does it say to push the lever all the way down, and there isnt even a section about doing this. this video saved me ! thank you

Thank you for showing how to remove the middle seats. For the longest time I couldn't find the leaver to place the back of the seat flat down, until I watched your video. Hahaha natural blonde here! So thank you! You saved my life! Lol

This was way more helpful to me than the videos specifically about my car, very very helpful 🙏🏽❤

Thanks for the clear instructions. So much better than most explanations or manuals.

Thank you, I got the seat jammed trying to figure it out myself and this video really helped. You're much better at explaining it than the manual.

Worked perfect. Thanks from a 71 yr old lady❤

Very clear, much appreciated! Made this task rather easy after all. Among the very best instructional videos for such a task I've seen here, very well done.

Thanks for this great video. I just bought a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country in 2023

I really appreciate this... Just got this Minivan and didn't know how to take out the back rolls period. But I thought of you too and thank you guys for uploading the video

Thanks! I walked right outside and done it✅

Excellent, detailed instructions. Thank you!!

Thanks you wore a lot of help, thanks for your video. From San Blas Nayarit Mexico

This is fabulous instruction. Thank you very much for sharing that.

Love the Romney Sticker.

Very helpful thank you! I'll try this tomorrow

Great video. I like how you make it nice and clear.

THanks YOU SO MUCH. Something seems so simple both omG!

Great video. Thank you.

Thank you for this video

God bless you good sir.

I love the bumper sticker!

Thank you your a Godsend.

Switching front seats 1999 Windstar please!

Thank you

I have a 1998 grand caravan I tried to remove the seat and for my surprise I would need to hire a bodybuilder to lift the seats!!! So freaking heavy!!!

How hard do you think it would be to flip the 2nd-row seats so it's facing the 3rd row? I can't seem to find anyone who's done it for a 2014 Dodge Caravan RT. It seems like it would make more space and better for commuting with others more fun. Thoughts?

It would be nice if you said up from what make and model mini-van(s) you are showing. Many do not have the system or means of removal you show.

thank you for posting this.

thanks very helpful

I own 2006 Grand Voyager and live outside town so cant get helping hand for that rear bench removed ( my back is realy bad). It weights not less 200 pounds(80kg). For that Iam going to weld like fork on rolers so I can pull bench straight on it and roll away. I hope it work.

Thank you for sharing this video. Is it possible to replace the middle bench seat with Captain chairs on 2006 3.3ltr dodge van?

This is PERFECT. Thank you! :)

thank you so much

Gracias

Too bad you can’t just put a single seat in the middle two tracks. You can be the Captain calling the shots to the helm and navigator upfront 😂

When removing the middle seat, how do you disconnect the seat belt that's anchored to the side of the bench seat?

Very helpful!!!

U are Awesome!!! Thanks for the simplified version!

Very good video. Thanks.

Excellent video Thanks

Gracias fue de mucha ayuda

Excellent, I need to replace the whole carpet, so, how do I disassemble the front seats?

Are the seats interchangeable

Can you put the seat all the way inside like the back so I don't got to take it out I just want to put it in side

This video doesn't quite answer my question. I am regretting buying the 2017 Grand Caravan SE I got just yesterday. At the car lot I saw the stow and go compartments and it didn't enter my aged befuddled brain that a second row smaller BENCH SEAT would not fold in there. I don't have those plastic guides on the floor, only the steel hooks. I lowered the levers on the back and the back wheels popped out, but it looks like the front is latched into other hooks. I can't see any way to unlatch them. Seat of course doesn't slide forward because of those hooks. I'm 76 yo female and I've about twisted my back all to heck working on this for hours. HELP!!! How do I get the front unhooked so I can remove this frigging seat?

So are the 2nd and third rows mounted the same way? Could a seat in the 2nd row be remounted in the 3rd row? I'm looking at an 06 caravan with only a 2nd row.

Will this work on a 1995 Nissan Quest?

Do it yourself Stan, says you can't do it yourself lol

I'd probably try a local junkyard or moparone.com for parts.

the middle bench seat does not fold in half?

my backmost seat won't slide forward, i pull the lever as shown and nothing. does anyone have any idea why it wouldn't?

That's great but some idiot broke the levers off! So now what?

No bench bed huh? Sucks

Hola mía es una Toyota Sienna 2002

Damn i wish mine was this wasy lmfao

Thank You
