These front seat back release catches install on the side of the front bench or bucket seat assembly. On compatible 1968-1970 Mercury Cougar applications, they serve as the striker mounting points for the seat back release system and help the seat back remain secured in the upright position during normal use.
Worn, damaged, loose, incorrect, or missing release catches can leave the seat back latch system incomplete and may prevent the seat back from staying properly positioned. Replacing both catches as a pair helps restore consistent function to the front seat assembly during seat latch service or interior restoration.
