I believe on here somewhere I've seen a thread about this, But it didn't help?? I am completely removing the interior to fix rust and replace everything.... I'm a retired Paint and Body guy, and I'm still stumped?? I need to remove both seats, the tilt works fine, But there is no Loop Handle to move seats forward/backwards? I can see where the seat pivots to tilt but there are no apparent bolts/screws that I can see anywhere at all?? How do I get these Darn Seats out??? Help!!!! I've also tried to find the supposed finger release on the rails, I've checked all 4 several times, even wandered over to my VW Thing to compare, and don't feel anything at all, so you'd think the seats would just slide off, but No, they're not budging at all???

I read here about trying to slide the seats out. I fought with them until I could slide them forward and undo the bolts. After looking at them uninstalled I realized the PO had put one on backwards. I corrected it but it still didn't function. I finally realized he had also mixed them up side to side. I'm so glad I figured this out since I probably won't be removing them again.
