Hey guys,
I've received my correct bucket seats for my '69 Coronet, as my car currently has a set of '70 bucket seats with the integrated head rests.
I was lucky enough to get a mail from a Mopar shop that had a set of seats for sale.
These seats were originally from a 4 door model and therefore did not had the latch to unlock and fold away like for a hardtop.
I did receive a set of brackets/latch with the seats with the little chrome handle but i cannot figure out how this supposed to be installed.
I did get it installed in a way, when lifting the handle it moves but does not clear the pin and therefore will not fold away.
Now looking at some pics on google, it looks like the latch is facing down, but in this case i think it should need a spring or so to return it to latch.
Does anyone has some pictures and/or explanation on how this supposed to be installed?
