How do I repair my third row seats in my 2000 windstar that will not stay up properly.
On a 2003 Ford Windstar : The cargo area is behind the rear seat
The Windstar will seat 7 people - 8 if there's a bench seat in the middle position if they're skinny enough
Aren't they for the rear heaters under the seat????
Use the seat belt and buckle up.
No - because from the factory bucket seat vans have an extra set of floor anchors that the bench van will not have. Answer In my 2001, there are both sets of floor anchors in the middle seat position to accommodate both style of seat anchors.
Machete.
To remove the middle seat in a Ford Windstar, start by locating the release levers or knobs located at the base of the seat. Pull or turn these to unlock the seat from its anchored position. Once released, carefully lift the seat and slide it out of the tracks. Ensure you have enough space to maneuver the seat out without damaging the interior.
I have a 96 Windstar and the seat is out of it and in my spare bedroom closet. Exactly what bolts are you looking for? Will help if I can.
Pick up the floor piece, the third seat gets exposed. Fold the seat back and you have the third seat.
Unplug it now! Our 2002 Windstar LX almost burst into flames this morning because the malfunctioning Driver's seat drive motors shorted out! Take Windstar to Ford and have the undercarriage framework replaced before yours also overheats and starts a fire.
Just short of an expert dropping by, I'll offer my "esteemed" opinion: I don't think it matters - as long as it fits I'd go with any available belt assembly.
The 2005 and newer Odyssey have a center seat that is 1/2 the size of the other seats. There is nothing available in the early models in the way of a third seat.
