1970 VW Beetle - Front Seats Won't Slide/ Adjust
Hi All,
Just about finished the refurb and have reinstalled front seats (these are the originals) . Have had to have them out twice now to try to get them to
slide without success. Cleaned off tracks etc, tried some lub but still can't get them to slide successfully.
Does the '70 have guides that need to be fitted or perhaps an assisting spring or something? Can't remember either of these 2 items having been
there in the first place but come to think of it I can't remember if the seats actually moved before I started either. Did have some issues getting
them out but managed it
Any advice appreciated

Should be an assist spring to help them move forward too. Clean and lube the runners with a dry lube stick.

Looks like an "L" rail to me. I saw the ones at justcampers but discounted them becaus ethey were from '71 onwards.
I'll keep looking though still welcome any suggestions or guidence.
