The seat bottom latch with release strap was only on the late Variants. I think it started in late 71 and went to the end of production. I'd be surprised if it was US only. 68-9s (and perhaps earlier??) came with a leatherette strap to help pull up the seat bottom, but there was no latch. I think there was some time when there was neither a strap nor a latch--a pretty reasonable approach in my opinion. 72 saw the introduction of a latch at the top of the rear seat back. Did these come with cars delivered outside the US? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
