Dear muskox37,

Hope you're well. Yes! Once the four seat bolts have been removed, pull the seat as far back as possible, then move it forward 1/4". That will allow the seat track lugs - one on the underside of each seat rail - to disengage from a "keyhole" opening in the floor plan, under each seat rail.

DEATH DANGER WARNING: Before trying to remove the seat, remove the negative battery cable clamp from the negative battery terminal, and put the clamp in a plastic bag, to isolate it. This cuts power supply to the SRS (Airbag) System. The airbag sensor is under the driver's seat, affixed to the floor pan. If this sensor is banged - if you drop the seat on it, or drop a tool on it - the airbag could deploy. This can be lethal, at close quarters. If the car has an in-dash passenger airbag, that unit's deployment could crack the windshield.

Volvo no longer supplies airbags or airbag sensors. In many jurisdictions, a car can't pass a safety inspection if the airbag system is not in good working order.

Also, write down the four-digit radio security code, before cutting power to the car. A Volvo dealer can supply the code, if the factory-original radio is present. If a Volvo replacement radio has been installed, there should be a serial number on a label atop the radio's case. If that serial number is missing or illegible, the radio cannot be re-activated, so far as I know.

Hope this helps. Happy Holidays and a Good, Healthy New Year!!!

Yours faithfully,

Spook
