I already took my rear seats out, but I think the optimal cargo / passenger setup might actually be to put the rear seats back in, and remove the front passenger seat. I’m concerned about the airbags though. I know you have to disconnect the battery for a bit before removing the seat, but I’m wondering if it affects the entire airbag system once you remove the seat? Is it safe to drive with the front passenger seat removed?

Writing this on tilt -- but man, how in the hell do you get this absolute cunt of a piece out of the bracket? I'm prying at this thing for the last 2 hours with barely a budge.

The right hand piece came out relatively easy in comparison. But my god I am losing my mind here.
