topher352 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 When we bought our 2009 Journey, we couldn't seem to find one that had all of the options we wanted.. we ended up going with one that did not have the 3rd row of seats. I've just been wondering if it's possible to purchase the 3rd row seats (I've seen at least 1 post on here about someone that might be interested in getting rid of theirs).. and installing them into a Journey that didn't come with them installed. I haven't had any opportunity to really look at a Journey with the seats to see where they hook up, but it doesn't seem like it would be all that bad?

drb227 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I don't think it would be very easy, if it is even possible. The floor is different between the 2 and 3 row Journeys, not to mention that you'd need the mounting points for the seatbelts and there wouldn't be the cup holders for the 3rd row.

Derekmclain9 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yeah my dealer told me you couldn't do it on the 2011. I don't know if yours has the in floor storage in the back like the 2011 does if it does then I doubt its possible unless you want to pay tons of money for it. Anything is possible if your willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher352 Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hmm.. Thanks for the info guys. I guess I just figured the backs were most likely identical, just covered by different aesthetic pieces vs mounting brackets. Are the seat belts on that row just lap belts? Do they have a separate mounting point, or do they just mount to the seat rails? Is the floor really different back there? Or is it just because the storage components cover the floor? I really wish I had a model with the 3rd row to compare to. lol. I'll have to search around for pics. It's clearly not quite as easy as bolting a seat in though. Maybe I should just trade it in for a newer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb227 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 The floor is different, there would be no cup holders and the seat belts attach behind the seats, like the other seat belts do. I can't see this being a viable option to attempt without spending a TON of money. Would be more sensible and easier to just trade it for a model with the features you want.
