'70 300 Vert rear seat armrest removal

[C Sickness]

Inside the rear armrest are courtesy or "dome" lights. One side fell off its mount behind the louvers, and is lying on the floor behind the armrest. I expect to pull the seat bottom out, but then what? I think the SM mentions "clips and screws".

Also, the only "Dome Lights" i see working are the two at the rear seats, and the map light comes on. Is that all, nothing in the footwells forward?

From memory...

Seat bottom out

IIRC, I think the seat back needs to come out too, but I'm not 100% on that. It does make it easier, I'm positive about that .

Snap screws on top

One Phillips screw on top front edge.

Two large Phillips screws just below arm rest

If electric window , unsnap the switch and unclip the wire plug or remove window crank.

Panel is clipped around front edge, unsnap carefully with a putty knife or similar.

Wait, that takes the entire panel off

For just the armrest, seat bottom out and remove the two large Phillips screws below the arm rest.

Just the armrest to get to the light bulb. Two screws down low at the floor?

No, right by these arrows. You have to feel for them or get your head down there. This is my car.
