Abstract

A vehicle seating structure allowing the removal of a seat assembly through an opening (72) of a vehicle having a track (26) secured to the body of the vehicle, the track coordinated with the opening such that the seat assembly (10) includes a coupling device (30) which slidably engages the track, thereby allowing the seat assembly to be displaced along the track and pass through the opening.
