working on a 86 944 - the rear seat would not release on one side (driver's
side), though with a real hard push it would sometimes release on other
side - AND driver's side button was missing. After a lot of screwing
around, I removed the seat (you can reach in with a screw driver and release
the lock from the back) and removed the lock - it was bent from pushing, but
worked. put it back, didn't work - repeated that several times, finally
realized that one of the spring steel wires that run side to side to connect
the two latches wasn't moving - pulled and pushed on it - it was stuck -
pulled the carpet off the back of hte seat and it was glued down solid with
yellow colored contact cement that was rock hard - pulled it free,
reassembled everything and now it works fine - amazing - this must have
been bad from the factory 11 years ago - anyone seen something like this?
Oh, and there was an insect carapace (or whatever y ou call that brown egg
like thing that hatches into a beetle) stuck in the glue too - about the
size of a rat dropping (but with insect parts inside) - I thought porsche
factory was pretty clean so maybe this is suggestive of some idiot regluing
the carpet, or maybe porsche had some elves working at home that day???

Not in a trillion years did Porsche have anything to do with that snafu.

well, that's what I'd like to think, but the glue was far from new - has
anyone taken a rear seat apart? does factory construction use yellow glue
to hold the carpet in place?
