Sorry, just now seeing your post. Here is the cargo mat part number. And I added some D-loop tie downs that help keep the mat from sliding.

Neat set up, thank you for the info!

Thanks so much for posting this. Does disconnecting the wiring harnesses to remove the third-row seat trigger or display any error codes? This is the caution given to me by my local dealer.

My LX didn't give and error messages. No changes at all. Be sure to plug back in that sensor thingy that you have to temporarily remove. The car might notice that.

My LX has not complained about the third row removal.

Thanks for the detailed and accurate instructions! My tiny contribution; the socket sizes are 11 and 14 mm.
I used 3/4 birch ply, and indoor/outdoor carpet from HD. Carpet is just tacked in place for this photo as I was checking for clearance around the edges. Also, the carpet doesn't have to be aces as the cargo mat covers virtually the whole thing up. Lastly, I am still contemplating adding spacer towards the second row as there is a couple large wiring harnesses there and I want to make sure I am not putting any pressure on them.
