Rear Seat Squab

A bit embarrasing, but I can’t remove my rear seat squab to get at the parcel shelf.
The manual refers to removing the centre section, but my September 1968 +2 doesn’t have one - it’s one piece.

I can’t see how it’s mounted - advice appreciated muchly.

Thanks

Stuart,
The manual is a bit weak about differences between different models of +2. I assume that you have an early model and mine is a later +2S - the seta are auite different. I’m pretty sure you’ll also have to take off the transmission tunnel trim cover.

Looking at the partslist, it seems that your seats are held at the side (take off the trim to see) and on top (under the rear parcel shelf?)

I’ve attached a scanned picture from the parts list that may help.

Good luck
Mike

On my 1969 +2 (not “S”) The rear seat bottoms were attached with a small “L” shaped strip of metal screwed into the wooden seat bottom and the face of the fiberglass “pedestal” that the seat sits on. The metal “L” is most likely beneath the carpet and not visible.

Hi Stuart

I have a 1968 and have removed the parcel shelf.

You need to remove the centre consul as this sits on top of the rear seats. I think this is what it is refering to. Its no problem, just remove the centre consul and remove the screws retaining the seat.

With the centre consul out it is easy to see what needs removing.

Any problems let me know and I will take some pics and send them to you.

Thanks Mike, Bob and Jason.

Squab is now out - I removed the seat cushions first, then four nuts in the wheel wells, then squab up & out followed by the parcel shelf.

New speakers are next.

Thanks for your help again.
