Did you use the Liners meant for the bench or for the captains chairs option? I'm about to do this and want to know if I can just get the captain chairs option vs bench + and additional liner for the middle.
Thanks!

captains chairs weather tech. my only critique about the weather tech setup is I have to fold the 2nd row chairs in order to remove the 3rd row mat.

We did the same thing on our 2017 Expedition Limited (removed the middle bench seat) and now have "captain with no armrests". Will the one piece 2nd and 3rd row WeatherTech liners fit exactly or will you need to do some trimming? Thanks for any and all input. We need to order our liner asap. We are looking at the weathertech Part #: 443531-4410402.

Is there a gap between the 3rd row and 2nd row liner? If so, what did you do to cover up the gap? Any way you can send a pic of your second row?

no gap. it fits perfect. order from weather tech and select that you have second row captains chairs. it will be a perfect fit.

Re installation
Hey! Super helpful thread so far. Has anybody reinstalled? What's that process like? I love having 8 seats for certain occasions but easy back seat access probably takes precedence.

Its like 6 bolts. Would take me 30 minutes to reinstall, but I would never do it.
