My '79 has just the one latch mounting point for the backrest, on the passenger side:

The seat has a z-bed mechanism as can be seen. I don't feel that it latches securely enough for my liking when in the seating position - should there be:

a) a latch on both sides?
b) does the z-bed entail a different latching system to the standard seat?

I don't think that my z-bed mechanism is working correctly anyway - it doesn't all fold out at once when I pull the seat base. I have to pull the seat base up and out, and then rotate the seat back into the newly-formed gap. Does anyone have instructions for a z-bed?
