how do i remove the back seat on my 72 charger? I know probably a stupid question but i looked at it and couldn't figure it out. Does it just pull "UP" off the little brackets or what? My trunk is stuck shut and i really need to get in so i can get my homework...

later  :icon_smile_cool:
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

ok there are two hooks on the top and two hooks on the bottom put you hands in the crease where the seat belts stick through and lift up on the back of the seat the top brackets should pop off then go from there

Just tell the teacher your charger ate your homework.

Sometimes its easier with the bottom part out first.  If it comes to that push in (towards the back of the car) and lift up and the bottom part will come right out.

That's the real way to make it, and after that the back as stated before.

You need to push it HARD and then lift up to unhooked.

Hey, what about the top half. Mine looks to have 2 hooks on the bottom on each side. But they are facing outward. It's not coming up because of those. Do I just bend those inward?

These are the hooks I'm refering too. How do I go about removing the seat backs?

my '71 had the hooks bent too,.. it made removing the rear seat damn near impossible... i finally crawled thru the trunk and with a long screw driver and using another "tool' as a fulcum managed to bend them back so they would unhook (Bottom hooks).
under the seat of course i found a treasure trove of items from the original owner dating back to 1971... as I posted about back in may...

So are you saying they are bent and that is not the correct position? It appears that the only way to get the seatback off would be to bend them.

yeah i'm saying that if it's impossible to unhook them that COULD be why...

Thanks, well I did it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to bend those but I did and it was okay.

Ah, ya gotta love this site and its treasure trove of information! Thanks Guys!  :2thumbs:

Now i'm off to the storage barn to see if I can find, or if I still have a build sheet under the seat!  Someone stole my "plate" under the hood years ago. :icon_smile_angry:

Hopefully, they didn't steal the build sheet too!

Thanks for the info guys.
