Tether anchor retrofit '97 Volvo 850

[MommyShannon]

Is it possible to order the parts for a '97 Volvo 850? It has the per drilled holes. I just can't find where to get the parts.

I reckon a Volvo dealership's part department would still be the likeliest source or starting point at least, even though the ownership of Volvo transitioned from Ford to a Chinese company a while ago. Failing that (and apologies if you already tried Volvo dealerships), you could try online parts stores specializing in Volvos to see if they sell or can locate the parts, maybe by googling the specific part numbers to see if you can find any Volvo parts websites that have them available. If you don't already have the Volvo 850's top tether anchor retrofit part numbers, the LATCH manual lists Volvo part number 9475763, called a "tether hook," if it's a 4-door '93-'97 850 sedan model which has 3 tether anchor points on the rear filler panel/shelf, or Volvo part number 9136928-0, also called a "tether hook," if it's a '94-'97 850 wagon version which has 3 tether anchor points on the back of the rear seat. Fingers crossed that the parts are obtainable.

Thanks, I hadn't found the part # so that will make searches much easier! It's my mom's car now, but it was mine back when Volvo had just gone to Ford. Too bad I knew nothing about tethers back then.
