how many rubber band things are supposed to support the seat squab ( 89 coupe)

There are hooks for 4, but both my seats have only two - is that right?

Oh - sorry! yes I think a squab is a very young chicken or pigeon, but in this case I mean the horizontal part of the seat that you sit on. Mine just lifts out, and underneath there are some elasticated straps about 2" wide to support it. hooks for 4- Iv'e got 2.

ah. yes... I will have to check... my 92 has the same basic seats... and I think mine has 4 such straps. now, its possible your straps are wider than my seats straps... but I will check when I go outside. expect a reply this evening, my time, eastern, USA... :D

hmmmm.... how true. but I am rather well versed in both iterations!! My mom grew up in Ipswich.
