Some progress I can make in this weather-I reupholstered my front seat finally. I had done the passenger seat a while ago, and didn't really get much benefit from that(just visual) now that my seat is reupholstered I feel like I am in a la-z-boy it is so much nicer than sitting on springs! Next is the rear seats...actually I still have to attach those buttons in the seat back. I fixed the little handle for flipping the seat forward, the little spring had fallen out, and was inside the seat, I found it when taking the old upholstery off. I also put the round handle that adjusts the seat angle on. The replacement I got is chrome, I don't know if it was originally or not. I also have the handle for the lever that allows you to slide the seat forward and back, but I don't know how this handle attaches, is there some little clip that goes in there? Anyone know where to find this clip? I also got to fix my driver side inner door handle. Since I got my squareback almost a year ago I have been having to roll down the window & reach outside to open the door(inner handle was broken) It got to be a little too automatic. Such an easy fix, I don't know why I didn't do it earlier. The new one is so smooth. Now I need to lube the latches somehow, because the door handles are very stiff from the outside...any suggestions on lubricating that? -kevin '65 kombi '71 sqbk somerville, ma ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
