I'm removing my seats from my 1970 Duster to be recovered. Today, I removed the front bench seat and rear bottom seat. I have not attempted to remove the rear seat back looked closely at the attachment strategy yet as Sunday family dinner took priority. Any advice on how what I need to do in order to remove the rear seat back?

On another note, I briefly looked through the service manual that I had for 1972 Duster prior to removing any of the seats today and realized there were no interior service instructions in the book. Why is that?

If I remember right, there's hardware at the floor pan. Remove it and push seat back up.

Yep, 2 bolts at the bottom, if it hasn't been removed before, then lift straight up off the two hooks near the top.

Why am I thinkin' there are steel sheet metal tabs that you straighten to unlock the lower frame of seat back?

I think everyone is assuming you have fixed seat back, is it fixed or the one that folds down?

I have a fixed rear seat back.

Is the A Body the one that has the small steel tabs on the inner wheelhouse that you just bend back out straight and slide the bottom of the seat forward to unlatch? If so lift it off of the top tabs and its out. Usually have to take the armrests off to make it easier to get out. I know the picture is of a Swinger and not a Duster. I enlarged it but just can't make it out.

Attached is a photo of the lower rear seat back attachments. Are these the only attachment points (RH and LH) or should I be looking for other retention points? If these are the only attachments points, any recommendations on how to detach seat back without damaging/over bending tabs?

Yes, sort of.....There are hooks at the top that the top seat horizontal reinforcement wire hangs over to secure the top. They are just hooks that don't move and the seat simply slips onto them. Bend the tabs straight (it won't harm them, they are meant to be bent), pull the lower part of the seat back out towards you, then shove the entire seat back up and it will come off the upper hooks and be free.

To get the seat back out of the car, remove at least one arm rest also so you have some swing room.
