Looking to buy the 3rd row seating for my 2008 srx.. any suggestions?
See this discussion: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-srx-forum/144719-3rd-row-seat-install.htmlTo the OP, this conversion has been done before (search this forum) and, technically, it could be DIY but enough panels are in play (you're installing seat belts in the ceiling as well as the seat panels and switches) that I'd give some consideration to getting a shop on this one.
Your best bet is to find a wrecked SRX of the same interior colour. I don't know if the year matters, though -both our '08 and our '04 had ebony interiors and the 3rd row and the only difference (to my untrained eye) is the driver's side panel in the rear - to accommodate the power door piston assembly.
Another option to find a matching wreck would be to buy an older and high mileage SRX with the 3rd row, do the swap, and sell the older one post-swap. If you never move the title into your name, you might be able to avoid sales taxes on the purchase.
Anyway, worth considering maybe?
