| Is the 1969 Convertible supposed to have low back seats? West Coast Metric shows low back seats in the catalog, but the car I bought yesterday has high back seats. |

That is really wierd- he is absolutely correct, the WCM site shows low back seats for 69 vert but high backs for the sedan.
I would never order anything from WCM again- that's just something ANY reputable VW vendor should know.

The great thing about WCM is they have the best rubber seals. |

Yeah but I don't know if I could forgive them after that blunder. I mean that's aircooled 101, I knew which seats belonged to which years before I ever knew anything about yanking my engine. It's really disheartening to find out WCM cares so little about simple year model accuracy.
