Very easy, maybe 45 mins total. Now to find something to plug the bracket that protrudes from the wheel well. Anybody come up with a solution for this?

Great tutorial.

I know the LX570 motorized seats are made to provide maximum ease of use but I do miss the manual seats of my LX470 which could be removed and reinstalled in only a few minutes. Sometimes a step forward can also be a step backwards.
I agree. We have the 2002 and 2004 LX470 -- much easier to remove the 3rd row seats.

Default Cargo mat for LX570 or LC200 w 3rd row removed

Finally found a 2-row LX570 to look at (2019) and the cargo area "all weather" heavy rubber mat is a perfect fit for my 2008 LX570 with the 3rd row seats removed. Covers all floor area from rear seats to tailgate and sidewall to sidewall for entire length of the cargo area. Includes the little drop down behind the 2nd row seats. Only available in black. pn is PT908-60180-20. Ordered on Friday. I'll have it next week. The mat is not a "tray" like a weather tech. It's not completely sealed if you dumped 5 gallons of water in there or something. There are a few slots where D-rings from the floor can poke through for securing cargo. But it looks very durable and like it will contain most anything. I'll probably just secure some heavy rubber tire patches over the holes I'm not using from the back side and that'll seal those up. Pix to follow when it arrives.

Thanks for the information and part number. Would you mind posting a picture of the mat installed after you receive it please?

Certainly will. One of the parts guys made an off-hand comment during my order. Something to the effect that "Colors are only available in alternating years" or something like that. So I'd encourage someone who's after a color other than black to check and see if the color of your preference was available as a 2018 part, which also had a 2-row option. I prefer black in a cargo mat anyway so I was fine ordering the 2019 mat. But clearly the floor area shape and size has not changed a bit since 2008.

Dave, I used 2" wide Gorilla Tape on both sides. It's so far contained pheasant and elk blood without issues. If I'm not bringing home meat for the freezer, I cut a piece of carpet to fit the mat.

"Done and Dusted" as my Irish friends like to say. Mat for a 2019 2-row is a perfect fit for a 2008 with third row removed.

Perfect! I'll order mine in the morning! I purchased a pair of D-rings that are bolted into the factory brackets that remain exposed in the picture above. Comes in very handy and reuses the factory bolts. Thanks for the info. The mat really finishes the trunk nicely.

I received my Lexus 2-row rubber mat for my 3-row LX that I removed my third row seats from. Great fit, nice look. The lip is not that high and the cutouts already have been made for the four tie down rings but to the untrained eye, my trunk looks like a stock 5 seater and my dogs are pleased with the extra space!

This has been very helpful. Could you please share how you covered the newly exposed areas? Thanks in advance.

I use a Husky rear mat and I cut a piece of scarp carpet to fit in the mat. When the carpet is worn, I simply cut another piece. What will be exposed are simply the 3rd row brackets attached to the body.

that still appears to be the correct part number for the all weather mat for two row seating!
