Need a 3rd row seat, 97 Volvo 850 GLT

Post by chasto »

I have been searching for a 3rd row seat for my 97 850 GLT. I have searched the entire web with out success. Is there a place on this planet that either aftermarkets them or collects salvaged seats?
Thanks in advance.

Nope.
Just keep looking, they come in EBAY from time to time.
You can also check with a wrecking yard like www.erievovo.com.
They get them from time to time as the same seat fits 94's thru 2000's

If you get a used one of these, make sure it comes with all of the hardware- including the seatbelt anchors as I'm not sure if the dealer sells the individual parts or not.

I think they're still available but MIJ's right, make sure the seat comes with EVERYTHING

Check the website www.car-part.com. You should be able to find something there. If not, try ebay, but Erievovo's prices are usually awful.

Perhaps but everyone knows by now that 3rd seats sell at a premium since they're no longer made

they are at a premium.. used at $300 to $600 US if you can find them. If you can get anything less with all the seatbelts and fasteners you really have a good deal on your hands.

I still have 4 of my clients on the waiting list for them!

I know it's a little late, but I have been looking for the same for my 850'... (Which I have found through the local dealer installed in one of their techs' cars... :) )

There was a set on ebay UK recently, but they were for a V70, according to the local dealer here they are model specific...
Anyone knowledgable care to contradict this and cite sources???

Nope.
850 and V70 seats are the same (I think)

I think you're right, at least until '01 then they aren't from what I understand. In '01 the dimensions of the rear cargo area changed.....so anything through '00 should be okay.
