Hi Rick, Welcome to the club of T3 owners. I don't think the seat base has a catch at all+ADs- my '71s don't. You just pull up the base from the rear (not the front+ADs- it hinges at the front). The seat back will not fold forward unless the base is lifted first as it is released by a latch held down by the seat base. If everything changed for '72, I am surprised+ACE- Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Fluck +ADw-rfluck+AEA-srv.net+AD4- To: Type III List +ADw-type3+AEA-vwtype3.org+AD4- Date: 14 August 1998 16:06 Subject: +AFs-T3+AF0- My battery's trapped...and it can't get out. +AD4-Greetings Fellow V-duber's, +AD4- +AD4-Been lurking on the list for about a half-a-year now, excellent +AD4-resource. +AD4-I finally found and bought a 72' squareback. Been a baja bug and +AD4-bus owner for 8 years now. My problem is this: +AD4- +AD4-The latch that operates the rear seat, allowing the seat to open, and +AD4-allowing +AD4-access to the battery compartment, is missing, or inside the compartment +AD4-with +AD4-the battery+ADs- so my question is, how in the world do I release the latch, +AD4-allowing +AD4-the rear seat compartment to open without having the operating +AD4-mechanism? +AD4- +AD4-My baja bug, long since sold, had a convenient wood cargo box, in the +AD4-rear so +AD4-it's operating latch mechanism was removed by the builder+ADs- so I have no +AD4-reference for my current problem. It is my hope that someone has run +AD4-into +AD4-this situation and has a witty solution as I'm stumped. +AD4- +AD4-Thank you for your time and wisdom, +AD4- +AD4-....../// Rick Fluck +AFwAXABc-...... +AD4- http://www.srv.net/+AH4-rfluck ..........Now that you've judged me, +AD4-http://www.controlvisioninc.com ...just think what our diversity +AD4- E-mail me back at: ................can do as a team. +AD4-......+AFwAXA- rfluck+AEA-srv.net //...... +AD4- +AD4-71' Campmobile +AD4-72' Squareback +AD4- +AD4-Idaho Falls, Id (112 1 W, 43 29 N) +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-------------------------------------------------------------------- +AD4-Search old messages on the Web+ACE- Visit http://www.vwtype3.org/list/ +AD4-
