Post by Winnebago »

I have a 98 s70. I am looking for rear seats with built-in boosters. I have not had any luck finding any from s70. But I have found a 2000 xc70 with rear boosters (although wrong color).


Can the 70 series wagons' rears seats be installed in the 70 series sedan? I noticed the wagons look to have a couple of plastic arms towards the front (by the passengers' calves) that allows the bottom cushion to flip forward. Can I just take the arms off and install sedans' hooks?
