There are screws in the bottom with hinges on thats what i mean when i say they screw back in the same position. As for the mounting i was pretty sure that they had the release clips by each door at the top. If not then it might be a case of bodging the mounting plates that the jetta bench had onto the gti seats.

No support on the rear gti seats is because they have nothing to hold onto where the split is.

So I take a day off work to hit the newly acquired [if slightly grotty inside!] Jet . . . . .

Managed to fit new dials from gti [and swap orignal speedo with original mileage] , new centre console, seats out and hoovered through, dash restore all black inside [used armourall dash foam - feckin' great!], front gti seats go in [after a good clean], pressure-wash the gti rear bench to dry in the sun [yes - sun?!?!] and go in and then it all grinds slowly and hand-bleedingly to a halt!

How in the sweet name of Moses do you get the rear bench out of a Jetta.  'Cos quite frankly - I have just about had about a titful of trying.

And don't tell me to read the Haynes 'cos it's bluddy easy on paper.  Pressure point on the lower lip of the bench my arse. 

Please,

Help me.

Please.    :embarassed:
