Correction: That little spring on the tunnel side seat rail that keeps the seat from moving forward needs to be pushed down.

You will want to use the regular latch to slide the seats as far forward as you can, and then there is a little latch gizmo on the inner rail, near the tunnel(at least on my '71 square) that you will need to lift with a small screwdriver to release the seat the rest of the way. If your rails are in bad condition, as mine are, a 400-Lb gorilla may be helpful, as the seat will tend to be sticky when it slides forward. I'm not sure where you can get new rails (the plastic slides), WCM didn't have them when I called, maybe Bill & Steve's might be able to get a set.
