I bought a 2005 Grand Caravan today. it has the rear seats fold down row, and a bench seat upfront, which has the stow n go compartments below it. due to it being a bench seat, I cannot fold and stow it below. Is it possible to remove the bench seat and put captain stow n go seats in its place?? Has anyone ever converted this before?? is there a DIY or write-up on it? thnx.

well little update. I found a PDF file that explains how to do it, but if anyone has pictures of their process that would be cool. here is the pdf file I found and what it says:



BENCH TO QUADS SWAP INSTRUCTIONS
by Greg G.

1. Remove the bench seat in the normal fashion.
2. Pop off the round floor plug caps around the perimeter of the floor cover. This will
expose the nuts that have to be removed.
3. Once all the nuts are removed you can lift out the bench floor insert. This is awkward
because it's a little heavy, so having two people for this part of the job might be a good
idea.
4. Now you can remove the brackets that were used with the bench seat. These will no
longer be needed.
5. Where the brackets were, that's where your new seats will bolt in. You may need extra
bolts for this.
6. Once the seats are bolted in, fold them flat into the floor cavity and install your new
Stow-N-Go quad seat floor cover.




WARNING: Do not over tighten the nuts that secure
the floor panel! They will break. Trust me, I broke two. Hand tighten to snug only.
7. One last thing, be sure to cut the carpet in the back to expose the hook under the rug.
When you go to stand up the seats you'll see what I mean. Thank goodness Dodge puts
all 4 hooks in all the chassis, I just made a little slit and the seat latched right on.
