Default 79 Interior restore question

Hi all,

I am in the process of refurbishing the interior and I've hit a snag...I'm trying to figure out how to get the seat rails off of the plastic seat bucket once the cushion has been removed from my '79 vette. I was able to slide the rail one way to get one screw off but i can't seem to get to the other screw on the other side of the rail.... Am i missing something? thanks

Slide the rail back to get the front off then slide forward and line the hole in the track to get the rear off.The hole next to the one that bolts it to the floor

That was the issue... The one with the hole wasn't lining up. I think it was just some rust buildup keeping it from fully sliding. Hitting it a few times got it far enough that i could get a tool in the hole. Thanks for the help.

Are you replacing the entire interior? Or just polishing up some parts?
