I just picked up a 1996 Volvo 960 with 32,000 miles on the odometer. It came with all the Little Old Lady provenance.

The front seats, even at the lowest setting, do not yield much headroom. I'm only about 5'10", so it's not me. I've read references to minimum seat height adjustments that can be made to certain Volvo models through a series of bolt holes in the seat frame. Do these exist in the 960, has anyone here ever performed this procedure, and is there a published (preferably illustrated) protocol for the operation?

 

I think so. Here are some instructions that you can use to check it out.

Thanks. I went through the pictures and accompanying text. Are the putative adjustment holes and bolts visible in any of the pictures?

Am I correct in assuming that the hole selection sets the base level from which the height adjustment occurs? So, if I set it up to start from the lowest hole, that yields the greatest headroom?
