Re: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
Sarge, backseats "Bow in the middle", if you will. As I racall, the bottom comes out first but pushing the bottom front in or back toward the trunk and lift. and the back part of the seat will un-hook and come out. Then the backrest is the same deal. It hooks at the top and and the bottom and the bottom would unhook forst allowing the top to be lifted and unhooked. Hard to explain, really.. regards Mike Fry --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Sarge, isnt there a clip in the middle of the seat > and you have to push the > seat back to release the seat ?

Slight correction, push down *and back*, then up. Yes, I've done it wa too many times. sigh. John Nasta wrote: > There are 2 forward-facing hooks mounted to the floor.

Sarge, Removing the bottom seat will give you all the access you need to install seatbelts. Scott Jackson' 69 Chevelle/Malibu SS
Re: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
Some on the list already helped you on the "push down on front and then push back on seat bench". When you said "seat belts" I don't know if you are referring to lap and / or shoulder? I just added shoulder belts to my '66 last winter and if your are doing shoulder belts and it's much easier with the rear seat back removed also. Typically the rear seat back is hooked at the bottom edge by two clips that hook over part of the seat frame. With the seat bench removed you can see these. Bend these clips up slightly and pull the seat frame down and forward. The top then hangs on two or three hooks along the rear deck. Also removing the arm rests and window cranks makes taking the rear seat back out of the car much easier.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
At the front bucket push the back seat? I just checked the Fisher Body Manual. It says: Push lower forward edge of seat cushion rearward; then lift upward. The hooks do face forward, but they are sort of the shape of a capital G (i.e. there is a slight "curl" at the bottom). So, you have to push down, back, then up and then pull forward. John Nasta -Original Message- At about center of the front bucket, push your back seat (part you sit on) down and back (toward the rear of the car), then up. You should also be able to see what is holding it in by looking under the front edge, again, about 12"-15" from the side panel. Yes, they can be a pain, and probably worse if you're a big guy. I have to get in the car, squeezed between the front seat and the back seat, and use my knees to push down and back to get mine out, or at least use my weight to push down and back. Good luck,

RE: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
There are 2 forward-facing hooks mounted to the floor. Push down and pull forward to get the seat base frame unhooked.
RE: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
Thanks everyone for the info! I hope I can get her outta there, and get my seatbelts installed. I'd love to be able to take the whole family out before the snow starts flying again! Anyone know if I need to get the upper part of the seat off to install the belts, or would just the bottom give me access to everything I need?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
Are you talking about the bottom of the rear seat? If you are, I believe my 67 should be the same as your 69. I had to push really hard on the very bottom to release the catch on the seat, then it comes right out. It is also hard to replace them.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Backseat 1969
Sarge, isnt there a clip in the middle of the seat and you have to push the seat back to release the seat ? It's been awhile but my 62 has something like this.
