2000 or earlier third row in a 2001?

Hello all, I am new to the forum and Volvos. I am sure 3rd row questions pop up here very often, but I did not see any threads about this questions.

After some reading, it looks like you can install the 2001+ third row seats in a pre 2001 v70. Has anyone tried it the other way and install an older seat in a 2001+ car?

None of my junk yards have a correct year car I can pull from, but I found a 2000 one.

What modifications are required to get the 2001 into a 2000 cars?

Thanks for any Help.

NO
and none and you can't retrofit a newer one into a 90-2000, where in the world did you read that?
They're not even close in style and fitment

Seriously, why would you think a seat from an entirely different body style and chassis would remotely work?

Wow. I don't know you, but I do have an observation. A new guy comes here to ask a question, and you jump on him like he's an idiot. Good way to promote the site, and Volvo owners in general.

Must be tough knowing everything.

You were seemingly ready to buy it so I tried to make it clear to not do that.
Again, I'm really curious where you read that one could work, it is a completely different chassis and unibody

Do some searching on Ebay or try http://www.erievovo.com for a used one
They may or may not have one right now, if not, they will put you on a list
