I seem to remember 2 bolts on each side attaching the seat to the body. Remove the front bolts and loosen the rear. This should allow the seat frame to swivel up enough to get the cover off. That style seat was an after thought. The non bed type seat does not have that cross bar. Dennis

How the devil does one get the heater core shroud off? I pulled the screws, tried to lift out the shroud - only to find that it was designed by an engineer having a bad hair day, and installed as designed by a worker whose beer had gone flat. Cripes what a goofy contraption. Can't pull that shroud without taking the whole rear seat front frame loose from the body frame. Shroud won't clear the heater vent. Any suggestions on how to deal with this one would be most appreciated. I definitely don't want to have to muck with the seat framing. Thanks, Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
