Abstract
A seating assembly includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. A floor panel defines a cutout that has a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first and second sidewalls frame a void. A track assembly has first and second C-channels coupled to the first and second sidewalls. First and second tracks are received by the first and second C-channels, respectively, and are coupled with an electrical assembly. A platform is positioned beneath the seating assembly and is at least partially received by the void. The platform includes a frame with an attachment feature that extends away from the floor panel and an extendable cross-member that is at least partially supported by the frame.
