    Question How to install rear seats?

    Hey Everyone,
    Can someone tell me how to install the rear seats? Does anyone have any pics of where the bolts go or what connects to what? I have the rear seats, but just cant get how to bolt to the car. Thanks!
    What if the hokey pokey is what it's really all about!

    no pics

    But they just bolt into the floor. You may want to pull up the carpet to see where the holes in the floor are located.

    There are brackets that should be bolted to the floor of the VX right where it turns to slope down to the foot well for the rear seats. They should stick out above the carpet so maybe the previous owner removed them along with the rear seat. Once the brackets are in the rear seats are held into them by a large pin with some plastic "bushings" around the pin. I replaced my stock pin with a removable pin with a safety clip on it so it doesn't come out by accident. There is also a metal "loop" bolted to the floor towards the back of the VX that the rear seat locks to once it is folded down. The rear seat belts are connected to the bracket that the loop is welded to.

    Nope, I can't seem to find all the parts. I seem to be missing the parts for the seatbelts and the loop for the seats to latch to. See pics:

    Ok..thats weird !

    The fittings were in a plastic "Vons" shopping back tucked in the back..
    ... and the dual seat belt latches were either with the seat or beside
    the towel that was wrapped around the spare A/c pump.

    Is it just the hoop for the seat latch and the belt anchor thats missing?

    ...I have another set stashed somewhere (!) from my VX..
    ...you can have those if needs be as I will never use a back seat
