I did some work on the Coronet today that required be to remove the rear seat. Now I am having a difficult time getting the bottom hooked back in place.

Anyone have any good tricks to hooking the seat back down?

Thanks!


1970 Challenger Convertible soon to be T/A convertible

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

Wedge your forearn between the front seat and the back seat. Push only on the lower frame (or you risk tearing the material. Push like hell!

I adjust the front seat so that my knee just just hits the bottom of the rear seat with my toe on the bottom of the front seat. Use your leverage to push on the rear seat.

What he said. That's how I do my Challenger. Works for both installation and removal.

I have a question regarding this...does the bottom HAVE to go in last?

Yep. Backrest cushion must go in first. Seat cushion goes in last, kinda tucks slightly under the backrest.

Thanks. I was having the same problem with mine...I thought I would try it different and put the bottom in first it might save me the headache.
