Re: [T3] front seats - HELP!

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

They often stick solid, and need careful but hard hammering from behind
(protect the seat base from damage!  If it's sliding, you just need to find
those spring clips on the front of the runners by the tunnel.  Then stop
the rail cutting into the carpet.

The clock is an impulse type; it takes a fraction of a second to wind.  I
hear that some have simply left it, but the fusible link might fail
prematurely on 12V.  I would insert a low resistance, say 4.7 ohms (just
guessing; it's not that precise, just a standard value!), and see that the
clock still winds (clunk about every minute or so).  If it doesn't, try say
10 ohms (any wattage is OK).
