850 wagon rear seat removal

Post by stone36 »

Hey guys,

I am looking at getting a new set of seats in my 850 Wagon, before I go down to the parts yard, are there any tricks to removing the rear seat backs? I have done the front seats and the seat bottoms seem easy enough, but the backs don't seem to be as straight forward. Any insights are appreciated.

Thanks MIJ,
Do you have one of those diagrams for the rear seat backs as well?

This is the clip I am trying to get I think. I just don't want to start snapping things off that are not correct.

Reviving an old post...

So I was down at my local parts yard on Friday. There is a nice set but it is in 99 V70. Any ideas on if these will fit? It is also power for both where mine is manual passenger seat. Should that be pre-wired, or will I have to always replace with a manual seat?

Thanks

Good question- I really don't know if they are pre-wired, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to run a wire under the carpet to the main junction box under the driver's side dash if they're not.
