2nd row Captain chairs to bench

[pmcrae]

So I’m referring to another person that did this as well from another forum. See this link below

Adding 2nd Row Middle Seat 2019 Expedition - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

2015 + Expedition & Navigator - Adding 2nd Row Middle Seat 2019 Expedition - Has anyone ever added a middle seat to the second row of a 2019 Expedition? My wife and I have an Expedition with bucket seats in the second row and are wanting to convert it to a bench seat. I found a middle seat on...

www.ford-trucks.com

I have not begun to tackle this so I’m just going off what other have done. So you were able to simply cut the holes in the carpet and bolt the middle seat in?

I purchased a platinum middle seat so I’ll see if it’s any different.

Have you finished this? We are having trouble using the slide and tilt feature with ours. We added the same trim level bench seat.

You can just remove the center jump seat (four floor bolts) and you'll have captains but without the armrests. You'll need floor mats or a Navi center console to cover the holes leftover.

That's what I was planning on doing, but my wife wants the armrests and nothing in the center.

Haven’t done it yet, hopefully next week.

As for your issue. If you only bought the center seat vs the whole bench you need to change the plastic trim on your captains chairs.

The “AN” is the color code for black.
The plastic is a lot thinner than the captains chairs. Should fix your issue.

We figured that out! Just finished it all today. I posted a thread earlier.

Have someone who dies vinyl repair repair the hole. I have had leather and vinyl repaired successfully.

For this particular armrest hole? The whole is pretty big. See pictures.

Nice! Thanks for the upload, the pictures of the foam pad are extremely helpful. I was very curious as to what was under there. This will be a big help when I tackle this.
