wagon third seat latch 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Julio Manalo on  Sat Dec 9 11:11 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hello to all! My 85 245 GL has lots of rattles emanating from the trunk area. Some are from the improperly fastened side panels, but mostly from the 3rd seat jumping up and about. When I checked, I couldn't find a latch or lock attachment to hold it in place. There's some sort of key barrel which has flat leaves which look like they're supposed to lock onto a latch but there's no latch. Also, there is no catch or latch to hold the whole 3rd seat from jumping up and down. Anyone know where I can get these locks/ latches/ catches? Also, where can I get the clips for the rear interior side panels?

Thanks.

    Yeah, there's supposed to be a little latch on the rear crossmember behind the 3rd seat. That keeps the whole mess quiet.

    I don't use my 3rd seat so I took it out and stored it. Much quieter back there without that mess to rattle around.

    The fasteners, latch, etc., are all available from the dealer, or from IPD's website

    Also, padding the spare tire well and generally making sure everything in the back is tight will help you out a lot with respect to rattles. But in my experience, no 245 is squeak-free!
