Subject:Re: Adjust Rear Bed? (and rear seat re-foam pics)

Is it the entire depth (Front-Rear) of the DriversSide end of the
BackSeat/Bed that is RidingHigh or is just the Front or just the Rear
~ I just looked at mine & what I am getting about your symptoms would
seem to suggest that either the Bracket/HingeMechanism is somehow
bolted in ToHigh or that there is something under the seat in the
storage area that is not allowing it to go down all the way ~ On mine
there does not appear to be MuchOrAny room for adjustment in where
those Brackets are bolted to the sides of the StorageBox/SeatStand ~
        I recall that years ago, the small steel odd shaped spring loaded
"thingamawhatcys" that are the things that go Click when you are
converting from bed to seat & cause the seat to take on its L shape,
got bent or deformed some how on 1 of my Westys but I don't really
remember just what symptom that resulted in other than they would not
move freely & so no Click & no L shape.
