Cab off service - need to remove rear seat delete?

[JTdiRtyD]

Trucks going in for P00AF code, which will likely result in a cab off turbo replacement all under warranty. I'm undoing all of my wiring and tucking it aside, but I'm usure if theres a need to remove the rear seat delete platform? Is there anything underneath or behind where the rear seats are that they need to get to?

Trying to mitigate any possible labor charges.

I wouldn't think so.

Only thing I'm seeing in the service manual for inside middle/rear of the cab is the center console has to come out so they can access the parking brake handle and cables. Looks like as long as the seat delete doesn't block getting the console out, it can be left in place.

Or just let the shop figure it out. I have an aftermarket tailgate panel on my truck - the dealer moved it to the new tailgate when it was replaced under the corrosion warranty. You shouldn't have to uninstall all your mods just because it needs a repair; that's between the dealer and Jeep's reimbursement program for any extra time. I doubt the rear seat delete takes any more or less time to remove than the rear seat itself.

It all depends on the dealership, service writer and service manager and whether or not they want to fight with the manufacturer for the additional time. Not only that, but the techs have no idea what I have going on, they don't understand how the platform is installed, or how the wiring is ran or connected for the DC-DC charger, etc., and I don't need them screwing things up, wiring it incorrectly and frying my battery or components. I'd much rather take the time to uninstall a few things knowing that it'll be fine when getting the truck back.

I took my JK in for a recall on the airbag wire routing near the front end. Required removing the grille. The service writer came out to look at the Jeep and asked me to unhook my winch (the cables ran through one of the slots) before hand or else they'd probably charge me the labor to fool with it. They had to remove the grille to get to the airbag wiring.

I didn't mind. I'd rather them not mess with anything that's mine anyway. So I grabbed some tools out the back and snaked the cables out and gave them the keys.

Pretty sure I went inside and waited for an hour (short job) and then got my Jeep back and reconnected the cables in their driveway and left
