Hey Guys, I'm from Germany and restoring a 69 Charger.

Now i have a big Problem with my Rear Seats.

When i'm hanging the Back part in the 2 upper hooks the back seatframe is to high to line up with the metaltabs at the rearwheels.

Has anybody an good advice for me, because the Charger arrived with interior complet dissambled.

Sorry for my bad english

Are you sure you have the right seat ?
Maybe there was a reason everything was apart when you got it

And 3/8 is my seatframe above the package tray too

then the lower tabs might have been welded in the wrong spot, I will look for a picture of mine, stand by.

I have too much junk in my Charger back seat to pop it out to measure but I do have a 68 Coronet which takes the same size back seat
The tab at the bottom is on the inner fender and not straight below the hook at the top
I took a tape measure and hooked it under the tab at the bottom and pulled it up to the top hook
In the notch of the top hook I see it is a length of 22 3/4 inches space if this helps any  :2thumbs:
