Backseat stuck

[99Yuk]

The same thing did happen to me years ago. But the shop fixed it and I don't know how they did it.

I recall something about they said the strap came off from the end of the cable. They may have used needle nose pliers to pick at and grab the cable from the top.

I do know that when I got it back, they said to be very gentile with the strap to prevent that from happening again. Fat chance of being gentile with two 11yr old boys!

use two guys, a boroscope, and flexible grab it claws.

Sunlitcomet:
Do you have any diagrams of the latch on the 2 seated side of the split seats. It seems to be different from the other seat.

Best match I could come up with at the moment:

Thanks, I can reach the latch i just cant figure out how to pop it from reaching down. This is killing me. The dealer quoted 300 in labor but that seems outrageous.

it looks like from below you move it forward to towards the front. shit just grab anything and pull it.

ok i found the wire that pulls it, now its just a matter of pulling on that. but its inside a rubber sheath. Im going to try and pull closer to the latch.

good luck I am going to sleep.

One quick question. You think I could cut into the sheath? And pull on that wire?

SUCCESS!! Not sure how I did it but that seat diagram saved my life thank you sunlitcomet.

As long as it is not armored which I don't think it would be. I am thinking it is just a plastic cover. Worth a shot.
