thmtrx Posted December 9, 2024 Share Posted December 9, 2024 (edited) Has any one added a second row seat 2017 Ford Transit Connect cargo van? Cannot figure out how the seats would be anchored to the floor. There are three hooks in the floor n the right places, but cannot find picture of how the seat connects to them in the back or in the front. If someone has done this would like to see detailed photos posted of the floor mountings front and back of the 2nd row seat. Thanks!

Don Ridley Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 The rear seats clip into brackets that are on the edge of the footwell on the front (covered by the black plate in your photo), and brackets in the back (that are shown in your photo). Here are photos of one of my rear seats flipped up into the vertical postion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted December 13, 2024 Share Posted December 13, 2024 Quite a job. You will need everything that you can find and strip from a donor vehicle. Mounting brackets, carpet kit, seat belts...... you should be able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added a jumpseat to my 2015 Cargo. See the link below for discussion. I never ended up using the seat as the reason for needing it went away. At the time I needed something for carrying a third person short distances as a rare occasion. This low cost solution worked for me but it has some obvious caveats. Good luck!

Don Ridley Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Yes, I have the SWB van. The brackets for the front of the seat assy appear to be welded on the higher section of the floor (not under your black plate). Ignore the wires in the photo. They are for aftermarket heated seats.

thmtrx Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) Thanks Don for the pics and the info! this gives me hope again. i will have to lift the black plate and take a look. maybe the front mounts are there after all. What year are your seats and what year is you ford transit connect? I found below mounts. do i any of need these? also found these transit 2nd row seats below but the mountings look different than yours. need to know how to get the seats like yours and how to mount them.

Don Ridley Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Sorry for the late reply. My TC is a 2016 and it came with the seats. You may find that adding seats will require some metal work and/or welding. Can you find a TC that you can rent to see the configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
