'10 Tahoe 3rd Row Seat Track Removal

[softail250]

I've removed the third row seats on my g/f's Tahoe ( we're never going to use them) and bought a "catch all" one piece mat. I can just throw the mat over the raised plastic seat tracks, but if I could easily remove them it would make a much cleaner install. Anybody have any idea what these plastic tracks are attached to ? I really didn't want to get involved with removing the carpet, but I gave them a few tugs and they seem to be attached to something under the carpet.

I think they attach to the floor strikers which hold the 3rd Row Seats in, and they are also glued if they are like the older ones....I'd leave them in there...you will probably rip the carpet taking them out.

Just leave the tracks alone. You did exactly what I did 3 1/2 years ago. 3rd row seats are under the stairs in my house and never see the tracks so don't bother me.

Ya, the only way to not have them is to order the suv without the 3rd seat! My 90 sub 3rd row seat came out the first day and has never been put back...

It's difficult to find a Tahoe without the 3rd row seat, and we absolutely will never need them, but we do need the nice big area behind the second row seats. Maybe someday GM will figure out how to let them seats fold flat when not being used. I didn't think they would put those plastic seat tracks on the floor in such a sashion that it was nearly impossible to remove them without destroying something. I was really just hoping to easily remove the little "hump" that we now have under the new mat back there.
