   I remember this warning when you posted about your seats, Ron, but when I 
stripped a MKII seat for the foam (and to pass the fabric to a friend), I 
managed to take these out by moving the upholstery up enough to get in there 
with a pair of pliers and work the sliders (?) out of the seat back frame. A 
learning experience to say the least.

  So very true!
