I have a 1969 convertible with the deluxe interior which was removed a number of year ago for restoration/body work and I'm now trying to re-install it, but the order of installation for some parts is unclear. Specifically, in the rear seat area, what is the order of installation for: seat back, seat cushion, seat belts, side panel (with weatherstrip/window crank), armrest (with ashtray), upper trim panel covering top mechanism, and carpet (rear section)?
Do the carpet and seat belts first. Then the side panel. Next the seat back followed by the seat cushion. The carpet can go in at any time but the side panels and seat belts have to go in before the seat.
