Here's a pic of the area in question, (in super gigantic resolution, hope you're not on dialup) http://www.tobio.info/passat/images/T3_Late72-73SeatAnchor.jpg You can clearly see the hook Bob's speaking of, and the pin. If the hook is missing, and the pin (or the return spring for the pin) are missing, you're gonna have this problem. You could probably make a universal carburetor return spring from your local FLAPS work there if you need a new spring. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
