Rear seat back doesn't clip in
Noticed last night that the backrest on my 75 doesn't seem to clip in properly when in the upright position. I can get it to clip in On the passengers side but the drivers side it just won't go.
Anyone else had this problem? |

Backrest
Happens in my tourer but pulling it forward a couple of times and slamming it jolts the catches. Brutal I know.........but works for me !

Lift your backseat up at the front, then your backrest in place en push the seat back, that's the best way to do.

There's 2 hooks at the back of the squab which must be hooked in first.
Then the front 2 clips will line up better . Great strength is required to push the wire frame onto it's rear hooks. I've made a special tool. There's 1000's of 75's driving round with unsecure rear seats (probably due to intank pump changes and not finishing the job off properly

I think OP may be referring to the upright backrest rather than the squab. The top catches on these can also give problems. Perhaps OP can confirm.

My mistake !
Still got to get round to sorting our ZT back out......Its been jammed shut for 5 years!!! But not clipping in like OP's is an MOT fail.
