Yes... there's another pivot! Most likely rusted out! Pull you back
seat bottom out and you'll probably see the rust hole.
Common fix if no Welder available is to cut a patch from a 64-69 Air
Cleaner top cover...
You'll understand when you look at it!

I completely agree with Matt--the air cleaner dimple works great as a patch.
And this is a good reminder for everyone who hasn't looked at their
"dimple" under the rear seat to pull the lower cushion, clean the dirt out of the
dimple mount and at least put a little oil on it if you don't have time to wire
brush and paint it. My old favorite, but very rusty, '66 Monza convertible
(RIP) had its pivot mount rust out while on the road and it took a lot of
time to find the problem.
