On our '75 sofa, there were big holes punched in the foam where the buttons went.
Something like an inch in diameter, which surprised me a bit. I had to toss
the foam as it was mildewed, so can't measure. The buttons were anchored in back
with cardboard circles. I'll try to get pics if/when I tackle the dinette.

Karen,
What model is your '75? Non-Plaid models, like the Eleganza, might have deeper set buttons on the seating.
Not that it really matters, just curious of the model differences.

More Sidekicks than GMC's and a late model Malibu called 'Boo'
