On in the back seat to push on the seat bottom with his feet and another to hold the seat release, and also the extra release that the seat will run against as it gets close to the front of its travel. This latter is at the front of the inner rail; you have to hold it down with a screwdriver to allow the seat to pass over it. In addition to the person pushing from the back, the BFH may also be necessary. You may also want to reach under the seat and verify that the seat release is working. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
