Third Seat Installation V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be LarryU on  Mon Nov 20 13:57 CST 2006 [RELATED]

We are getting a rear third seat for our 2001 V70 XC. Has anybody out there installed one themselves? I am told that all of the mounts are existing and that it is no problem. I am very adept at repairs-Brakes, Struts, Timing Belt Replacements, etc. so I am confident in my ability. Just looking for some input. Thanks in advance...

I had the rear seat added to my 2003 V70 (worked into the price) It is quite involved, but could be done by a DIY person. It involved changing out plastic interior panels, replacing most or all of the cargo deck, removing the headliner, and I’m sure there are some misc. bolt on structural parts too. The hardest part would probably be installing the locking actuator in the lift gate, which also gets a new interior panel, and interior door latch. Works great for the kids, I definitely recommend it.
