Detailed Pics of 3rd seat setups

[Rod Kenney]

My 84 Turbo wagon came with an uninstalled 3rd seat. I have never paid much attention to the way 3 seats work and how they are integrated into rear compartment so I was wondering if someone could post a few detailed pics of there 3 setup, pay close attention to mounting points and maybe a time shot of the different stages from closed to open. Thanks

Gimme a minute...

Got it at the junkyard for 50 bucks, and installed it in the parking lot in 10 minutes. Easiest way to install is with the seat bottom folded down, and the seat back folded up, with the 2nd row seats fully folded. If you want a description of how to do the install, just let me know, but, as they say, a picture's worth a thousand tacos...

there are nuts on all the bolts. Open the side tubs to get them on the horizontally mounting bolts, and just reach under the metal tray to get them on the vertically mounting ones.

this is the only thing I don't like, my floor doesn't sit flat anymore for whatever reason.




took before pictures using my brother's car, since I didn't feel like taking the seat out and putting it back in lol

There are several different 3rd seats that Volvo made, some attach differently than others. There is a setup guide (original Volvo instructions) that you can download on this page:

Also, I don't have seatbelts in mine yet, the would have been too much of a pain in the ass to pull at the jy.

I am going to try to hook up lap belts only, to keep the int. looking clean when the seat is not in use.

don't let 2 of your friends sit in the back with a packed car, because trust me, it will snap. :rofl:
