Title: How To Get Seats Out?
Post by: vduballstar on February 28, 2008, 04:52:40 PM

I'm ripping the interior out of my '70 Ghia and the two front seats will not come out/move or anything.  How do they come out and what are some tricks
Thanks

remove the spring that attaches from the seat track to the seat then slide the seaqts all the way foreward, but if they are rusty then you may have to use some brute force.

liquid wrench/pb blaster on the rails, a 2x4 and a bfh, sitting in the seat with both feet on the front firewall pushing to break them loose, lots of hard rocking back & forth, cursing, drinking, rinse & repeat.... B)
