Rear seat latches.

[satman72]

To begin, I had a hell of a time getting the rear seat out of the sat. Once it finally came out, I noticed that the hooks were turned in towards each other.

Should they be vertical & parallel to each other, or should they be bent towards each other like an upside down V?

I could be wrong but i think thats so the seat is firmly locked in place.. Thats the way i looked at it in my 73.. Sounds the same as mine looked.

Here's a pic of mine; Should those front hooks be tilted like they are?

Hey, I have to second Ron 73's reply. My 72 is the same ( really tight ). A" bodies have the same setup and I did put them straight up and down once to see what would happen....not very good, seat was alot easier to put back in but it was too loose and vibrated quite a bit. Now I just don't play with them.

 

[satman72]

Thanks. I'll just leave them as is.

My 73 appears to be the same as your picture, It will be easier next time if you need to take it out.. Knowing what you need to do with pushing and pulling makes it more simple, funny, reminds me of something different to though.

What are you saying Ron, should I put the seat back?:blob1:

 

[handy440]

Well you do need to put your back in to it, to put it in and take it out!

If your done, id say yep, but wait and see if someone else has anything to offer. I just seen what your working on, pretty cool! if the same one..
