Re: T-3: Seat pad replacement?

[Squareback <tfink@hubcap.clemson.edu> (by way of jadney@vwtype3.org (Melissa & Jim))]

The original upholstery(lower cushon) is held directly to the seat frame
by metal tabs.  The tabs are like little spikes.  The material is
streched tight, pushed over the tab, and then the tab is bent into the
seat frame.  Be careful because these tabs will break off easily.  The
seat back upholstery is just pulled over and secured by a zipper at the
bottom, or at least mine was. 

I'm right with you on the seat bottoms, but I never saw a zipper. 68 through 
73 used the same sharp tabs at the bottom of the seat back.  Over the years 
I've been around a 64, 65, 66, and 67 also, but never got that intimate with 
them;-)

[73s do have that little zipper that gives access to the passenger sensor 
for the seat belt alarm.]
