I can help install rear facing seat in north California

[treenewbee]

Hey guys, so I installed the rear facing seat (jumper seats) myself on my 2014 model s.
As I went through all the pain and learning, I hope that it would be useful somewhere else.
Let me know if you need help on that and I can help you source necessary parts and do the labor.

Hey @treenewbee , congrats on the successful project. Pictures would be awesome!

I’m in NorCal and considered doing this, but after researching and pricing it out, i gave up.

Did you re-inforce the rear bumper?
What was total cost?

I did add the rear cross member. The total cost I spend is around 2500 USD.

Great project! How much time did you spent on it @treenewbee ?

Did you try contacting any body shop?

the two sauna seats from hell, well they dont say hell, because there mom would smack them, but they say BBQ... lol.... or as my friends children so wonderfully call it.

It really gets so hot there, that i made her put a usb fan on a power battery brick over there to circulate some air for her poor children.

I would recommend you do the same too, just get a cheap USB fan, and USB battery brick, to help push some air back there, and it makes a lot of difference.
