Hi All,
A shoddy repair to one of my seats broke the other day and investigation
shows that the back plate (which is a solid curved sheet of metal on the
MkII has rusted and doesn't reach the bottom part of the frame all the
way across. I've not been able to find such good info on the seats as
for other parts of the car, but it looks like I can unpick the staples
around the bottom of the back, slide the trim and cushions up a little,
then weld as necessary. The worrying thing is that these staples go
into a thin curved piece of plywood which is looking pretty rotten.
Does anyone have experience of this type of operation? The plywood
might well not belong there, as the seat slides have been subjected to
some odd modifications involving wood.
TIA
Steve
