Tahoe/Suburban 3rd row seat installed

[slowride]

picked up the seats today, guess we'll find out. Either they will bolt right in like the guy said or they will be up for sale lol

The 3rd rows are the same

Well thats what the seller said but i wanted to make sure. Will post some pics when i get them installed in the tahoe

No they are not the same. The seat frames are shorter on the tahoe seats because of the shorter wheel base. So the mounting brackets and corresponding bolt holes are in different places from a tahoe seat to a suburban third row seat. The third row seats for suburbans are longer.

I believe that only applies to the 2nd row seats. The third rows are the same.

Hopefully have them in tomorrow. Will post some pics

OK so I got them in today. 2012 Suburban third row into 2013 Tahoe PPV. Worst part was about a dozen of the bolts for the floor brackets were so hard to get in I thought I was going to wring something off. All in all it worked out pretty good

Where did you get the plastic trim pieces. I couldn’t find em

 

[Keanen55]

Yeah, I've heard that those bolt were a pain in the butt! Looks good!

Looks great! Mine went pretty easy too. The bolts came out with no problem and the epoxy sealant stuff came right off. Just have to make sure that you give the openings around the floor brackets plenty of room otherwise the seats may not connect right. My 3rd row seats came out of an Escalade and went in no problem. For those who haven't done this yet, it's a quick and easy job.

I had to use totally different bolts cause I felt like i was stripping the threads.

I recommend getting some kind of lock for ya 3 row seats to keep em from getting stolen

 

[slowride]

Thanks. The trim pieces came out of the donor vehicle I got the seats out of. Havent thought about locking them in, didnt think they would be something somebody would steal but nothing really surprises me anymore.

Yea, it was a huge thing a few years ago. Apparently you van pop open the glass with the alarm going off and pull the seats right out without opening the tailgate.

Look on ya local craigslist, i bet you'll find some 3rd seats on there for sale.
