Keep in mind that these instructions are for the Ford Galaxy and not the Ford Galaxie. The difference is that the Ford Galaxy is a seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle produced and sold since 1995 in Europe. The Ford Galaxie, on the other hand, was a full-sized car made for the American market from 1959 to 1974.

Can you remove the back seats from a Ford Galaxy?

Yes, you can! The process is fairly straightforward, but it’s worth pointing out that these seats weren’t made for frequent or recurrent removal. So you’ll want to be careful when you’re taking them out.

Here are a few tips to make sure you do the job safely:

Check your owner's manual. Removing the seats might interfere with passenger safety features in the Galaxy. You’ll want to make sure you can safely remove the rear seat without disrupting the functionality of your airbags or seat belts.

Put down a tarp or thick rug. Removing seats from your car can expose metal brackets and sliders, so you’ll want to lay something down on the car’s floorboard to protect whatever you’re hauling.

Get some help. Have a friend work with you to finish the job. The steps for Ford Galaxy seat removal are easy, but it does take some elbow grease and muscle, so it’s a good idea to have some help.

Before you get started, you might want to rethink your decision to remove the seats—it’s a big job, so you should consider how much space you really need. After all, you can fold the seats down. We’ll give instructions for that process later in the article.

If you’re settled and sure that you need all the cargo space provided by pulling the seats out, keep reading to find out how it works.

How to remove the back seats from a Ford Galaxy

Here’s how to get some extra space in the back end of your Galaxy:

Fold down the seat or seats you wish to remove.

Remove the headrests from the seat or seats you plan to remove.

You’ll find a red cord at the bottom back end of the seat. Get ahold of it and pull on it while tipping the seat as far forward as you can.

Look for the front clasps. When you’re pulling the red cord and have tipped the seat as far forward as it can go, you should be able to easily remove the front clasps by squeezing the two small metal bars together.

Pull the seat out and clean up any debris. The seat should now slide out of the car and you can pick up anything interesting that’s been lost underneath all this time.

Once the seats are out, you should find a climate-controlled space to store them until you’re ready to put them back in again.

How do you put the back seats down in a Ford Galaxy?

If you’re not ready for a project quite as involved as the steps outlined above, you can try just folding the seats of your Galaxy down. It’s pretty easy. Here’s what you need to do:

Locate the seat release button. It’s usually on the back side of the seat near the headrest.

Press the button while pushing the back side of the seat forward.

Fold the seat down into a flat position.

With its flat-folding seats, you may not need to remove your Galaxy’s back seats at all!
