No problems re installing?Ryanc65 said:I just pulled the seats on my '65 conv. All I did to remove the seats was to remove the two front bolts on each seat. Then just pulled the seat forward and they came out. The rear pieces that hold the seat in place are "C" shaped and just basically prevent the back of the seat from coming up.
Basically I didn't have to remove the rear bolts to remove the seats. This would make getting to the rear bolts much easier, especially if they are stripped.

Only two bolts have to come out to remove a seat on any mid-year car as best as I remember. Remove the bolt at the front seat rail, both left and right, and slide the seat forward. The rear of the left and right rails are trapped under a "U" shaped bracket which does not require removal in order to remove the seats. After you get the seats out, the bracket is a piece of cake, nothing in the way.troysmjfrog said:i'm trying to replace the carpet in my 65 convertible. i'm having problems taking out the seats. the bolts on the rear, right hand side drivers seat seem impossible to get to. any tips for me? thanks
In case any '67 owners are reading this, they have different seat tracks with bolts both front and rear. You must move the seat as far forward as possible to get to the rear bolts.Ron Miller said:Only two bolts have to come out to remove a seat on any mid-year car as best as I remember.
