A friend has asked me to fix a flopping seat back in his late 1931 Vicky. It's the driver's side, the one that slides on a track. I need to remove the seat from the car in order to pull back the upholstery and find out why the inboard arm is flopping around behind the upholstery, as if its anchor point is broken. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the seat off the track. Does the seat need to come off with the tracks still attached (meaning unbolted from the floor), or can the seat be slid off the tracks, probably towards the rear? 'Never messed with a Vicky before, so the answer will be enlightening to me.
