5000 Back Seatback Removal

[Rob Bailey <baileyr@cuug.ab.ca>]

Well, I finally found a quattro worth buying. I bought an 87 5000S 
quattro. The problem is I need get to the child restraint anchors on the 
rear deck. Every other q that I looked at had little plastic covers over 
the anchors (I'm in Canada!), but this one does not. The anchors (and the 
hardware, in one position) are there, but they are between the metal deck 
and the fibre deck cover. I would prefer not to cut the fibre deck cover, 
so I thought that I would remove the rear seat and slide the strap to the 
anchor between the two layers. So far so good. I removed the seat bottom, 
and found that there were not screws holding the seatback on, but bent 
over tabs. So I carefully bent those over and released the bottom of the 
seatback. I then realized that the tops were anchored by where the 
headrests are located. I removed the spring clips that hold the headrests 
in place and removed the headrests. But the seatback top is still firmly 
attached to the car! The plastic headrest receptacles appear to be firmly 
attached to both the seat and the car, but I can't figure out how to 
separate them! From the trunk side, the is glued on carpet covering that 
area, I don't really want to peel that back, but I don't know what to try 
next.

So if anybody is still reading, that has either done this or has manuals 
that explain this process, please let me know what I missing! It doesn't 
appear to be very intuitive.

Thanks,
Rob
