Hi guys.
The "new" 40 coupe got trailered home Monday, VIN ck'd and registered yesterday
Now the questions start.

1: Does anyone have a picture of the front seat adj mechanism? I see the gears and shaft that runs side to side. The release lever when raised does not seem to do anything. Helpful hints appreciated.

2: The trunk won't latch. The rubber seal does not appear to be too thick. When turning the handle I can see the latch move, but not very much up and down. The lower catch is fixed. Would raising the catch help or is there adjustment some how "inside" the trunk shell.
