[T3] My battery's trapped...and it can't get out.

["Rick Fluck" <rfluck@srv.net>]

Greetings Fellow V-duber's,

Been lurking on the list for about a half-a-year now, excellent
resource.
I finally found and bought a 72' squareback. Been a baja bug and
bus owner for 8 years now. My problem is this:

The latch that operates the rear seat, allowing the seat to open, and
allowing
access to the battery compartment, is missing, or inside the compartment
with
the battery+ADs- so my question is, how in the world do I release the latch,
allowing
the rear seat compartment to open without having the operating
mechanism?

My baja bug, long since sold, had a convenient wood cargo box, in the
rear so
it's operating latch mechanism was removed by the builder+ADs- so I have no
reference for my current problem. It is my hope that someone has run
into
this situation and has a witty solution as I'm stumped.

Thank you for your time and wisdom,
