third seat 850 1994

All of the 855's were set up at the factory with the various attachment points and anchors already installed, so it is only about a 2 hour job to install one. IPD has had two "new" old stock kits on Ebay recently - one in "Oak" and the other also a light color. Both had starting prices of $595, and buy it now prices of $625. Neither had sold at end of one run, and they were relisted. Don't know if still available, but a call to IPD would confirm. Used on Ebasy are pretty rare. I just sold my dark gray set and had very strong response, with several bidders waiting in the wings in case my first winner backed out (he didn't). If you go the used or salvage yard approach, be sure you get all of the little pieces. Unlike the 700-900 seat which is basically a single unit, the 850 comes in separate pieces. There are the two main cushions, two separate headrest assemblies (one of which includes a latching mechanism to hold seat upright), two seat belts with retractors and integral roof mounts, a big bracket that holds the center seat belt latches and runs down under the spare tire, a plastic plate that trims the latch mechanism on the carpeted side, a separate oval plastic retainer piece which is inserted into the back of the center seatback and holds the third seat retainer latch (goes into a pre-cut place thaat is hidden under the rug on center seat back), two pieces of light gray carpet to trim the frame rails when seat is open, two vinyl trim pieces matching seat color(that cover exposed plywood beside third seat back cushion), plywood insert to go over spare tire (under rug) to give better footing for passengers, two small spacers that install under teh hold-down clips on teh side carpet panels and provide clearance to snap down after the new rail trim pieces are laid in, and all of erh attachment hardware and clips to install it all. There is a separate factory installation booklet (8 pages, half pics) that makes sense of it all.
