A seat storage assembly is provided for an automotive vehicle having a
floor, a roof, and a rear liftgate extending between the floor and the
roof. A pair of spaced apart and parallel tracks is disposed along the
floor and extends between fore and aft ends. A recess is formed in the
floor rearward of the aft ends of the tracks. A second row seat is
slidably engaged and pivotally coupled to the tracks for moving between
forward and rearward seating positions, and a stowed position within the
recess. A third row swing seat is pivotally coupled to the roof for
moving between a seating position and a raised stowed position. Moving
the third row swing seat into the raised stowed position enables the
second row seat to move between the forward and rearward seating
positions, and the stowed position within the recess.
