One of the easiest back seats to pull, just push the red buttons at the base of the seat on both sides and out it goes.

Liet,

Too bad the rear seat isn't as easy to put back in as it is to get out.

P E H

When I purchased my car from "Slick" in Florida, it was described as a "Never been Smoked in Automobile". Guess what I found under my back seat?

Will go down and look at it......never noticed any red buttons before......this is a W116 remember..................

Dog hair (lots of it), Starburst (some still in the wrapper but most melted), other candy, a hair brush, tissues, $2.45 in change, and a partridge in a pear tree!

They're not buttons, but small red pull tabs if I remember correctly.

Well I did say pull out, I didn't mention the part about putting it back but even that isn't too hard. I put the cushion back in and then sit on it at each corner. Pops right back in.

The first time I folded down my windshield (on a toyota landcruiser) I found some mexican change and some....um....hemp.....PO was a real party animal and had road tripped to baja....I know this 'cause the PO was my brother....

in my 84 300D parts car the PO was a hypocondriac with bad pockets I think - lots and lots of drug wrappers and at least 10 bucks in change in the car. I pulled over $3 in change just in DISASSEMBLING the two front seats for the springs.

Humorous..

I found a "peace sign" earing in my bug when I was restoring it.
Also found a Virgin Mary figurine made of translucent blue plastic.

When I lift the rear seat of my bug, I see a battery and a voltage regulator

Hey,
A little off topic but once I was driving and I pulled in for gas. I knew I was low on funds so I only put $5 dollars in.
Well I didn't realize I was so low all I had was $1.00

I started rummaging around and came up with the rest in change.

I'll have to look behind my seat later.
