<VV> How To Remove a 69 Convertible Rear Seat Back

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

Ken,

I'm not 100% sure as I haven't removed the rear seat in a '68 or '69 convertible in a while, but I believe they share the "improved" anchoring of the coupes required for the last of the late models.  If so then there is an elongated "C" shaped set of hooks that the seat bar goes into so that you can't just pop the seat up as on earlier models.  Hunch down facing the seat cushion and push the front (vertical) side of the seat back toward the engine a few inches until you feel the bar hit the back of the hooks and then lift up.  While lifting, slide the seat back forward and up.  Once you've done it and can see the revised anchors it will be clear how to put it back in.

Best of Luck,
Bob

Hi Guys!

 am trying to remove the rear seat back of my 69 convertible #5346. I have
emoved the two nuts from under the seat and a couple of screws in the top
ell but it still won't come out. Do I have to remove the rear side panels
s well? 

 hope to find the build sheet inside the seat. I have looked underneath and
nside the buckets and the rear seat bottom with no luck. I did find the
riginal rear carpet tag dated 9/6/68. The Fisher body plate shows it was
uilt the third week of April, 1969 but the date on the instrument cluster
hows April 26th, 1969. It's neat what you find as you look around!

hanks!
