    Weird request, but does anyone have a picture of the backseat area of the 55 with the seat out? My rear pans were replaced and the clips to hold the rear seat bottom were removed. I have the clips and need to weld them back in but not sure exactly where they go.

    Old picture and probably not quite what you are looking for. Hope it shows something that you can use. I didn't find anything in my pictures that really shows where the front edge of the seat hooks into the brackets on the floor.

    Does this look correct?

    That looks about right to me, but I really didn't pay much attention to that area when I was in there. I do remember needing to give the seat bottom a pretty good push to the rear to get it to come out of that clip.

    I looked through the body and trim manual. There wasn't much information about the bottom section of the back seat. This is the only diagram I found that seems to show that area. It looks to me like the diagram shows a clip just forward of that drop in the floor level - the same as what shows in your picture.

    I found some floor pans online that look to have a locator for the seat mounting tabs so I'm going to go with my placement for now. Thanks for the replies.
