f&*kin VW seats! (But finally success) - rant

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

It's always something like the white clip not being aligned properly, or the
clamp spring being dead, or whatever...And, don't get me wrong, I'm not
saying the steps themselves are difficult, it's just plain cumbersome
compared to the four-bolt breeze in my M3...Also,  I was in some kind of
stupor (sober, but whipped) that didn't make matters easier...
