SavvyQueen Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi! My 2016 transit connect with LWB doesn’t have a 3rd row seat. Can used ones be added to make it a 7-passenger van? The pics below are the area I want to add seats. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If you can get the seats, I am sure that you can drill holes and bolt them in. Actually, you may already have the holes. Left the carpet kit and look. Installing the seat belts may be more difficult. But not really. You just have to have all the right parts. Then it's as simple as removing your parts, and installing the new parts. SavvyQueen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavvyQueen Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Thanks for that response. I’ve found used seats at a junk yard, now I need to find someone local who can install them correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Does the junkyard have a complete van? The best thing to do is take photos. Lots of them. Photos of your van. Photos of that van at the junkyard. Compare what is different. As you may need things like the carpet kit, the interior panels, the seat belts (obviously). And if your van does not have an auxiliary junction box, and that van has it - then plan on taking that also. SavvyQueen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, I’m there’s a small fuse laying on the carpet beside it. And yes, the junkyard has the entire van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Look at the photo. Right above the junction box, there is a seat belt. You will need that. And the body panels. For both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
