Guys
As you know, the rear seats seat backs have reinforcement angles in all 4 ed
ges, 2 vertically (thicker) and 2 horizontally (thinner), and it is clear th
at these 4 angles are the seat backs structure.
But in the upper horizontal edge, the corrugated aluminium sheet also has a t
ab that goes backwards (pointing to the baggage compartment), with a tip sli
ghtly bend, and this tab goes over the upper angle.
I don=99t understand what is this tab for.
The problem is that I am now beginning to upholster the seat backs, and it l
ooks convenient to eliminate this tab.
Does anybody know what is this tab for?
Is there any problem to eliminate this tab?
Thanks
Carlos

A darned good question I've had since i built my -6A twenty years ago.
It's done the exact same way.
My hunch is it's to finish the edge which would otherwise be wavy between
the rivets, and to add a tiny bit of shear web in addition to the angle
stock, to make it less flimsy. I bet it's a complete non-issue, for the
loads the seat backs see in use.
