Default Just had a GREAT experience buying volvo used parts!!

I needed front seats for my 93 Volvo 850 GLT sedan and bought some in near MINT condition front and rear leather for $455.00. Paid for them today and they will be at my door tomorrow! Talk about service! I AM IMPRESSED!!! Here's a link in case anyone needs parts!!! http://www.swedishengineeringusedparts.com

If your installing them yourself. Please make a writeup for the install in the MEMBERS WRITEUP thread in General Volvo Forum. Pictures would be a plus.

Thanks

I love working on this volvo. Everything is so simple and easy to remove. Most parts snap out and the front seats are straight forward 4 bolts! Rear fold down seats look like they are a liftout design, no bolts! I'll snap some photos for an update!

The whole seat exchange was so simple. Unbolt, unplug and reinstall. Only issue I've encountered is the heated seats aren't working. Not sure what to check will have to play around w/wiring to see. These are newer (1997) leather seats and all the plugs and associated hardware plugged rite in! I did have to take the dremel and cut out about a 1/2 of plastic on the electric seat switch. The newer seats have the side impact air bags and required a bit of plastic removal to make it work, no biggie! I'm stoked! Seats look like new!![sm=yeahsmile.gif]
