It MIGHT be possible to get the latch out without removing the channel, but the Bentley is probably right. VW added an extra shield, attached to the channel, in about 72 which makes this completely impossible. So there's some chance that you can do this without the extra removal, which IS a lot of extra work. It is just barely possible that you could work that spring back into place without taking the latch out, but that would probably require another latch in hand so that you could "see" exactly what you were doing. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
