Vincygav Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Due to lack of activity in my car, as it was not used the past 3 years much. I did not realise the seat backs had seized. IIRC it could be a MOT requirement for the seat back to be latched. I had try everything, I was almost going to take the seat back covers off to try to find out the problem. But when I realised the catches that anchor onto the seat base frame was not even moving to the lift rod handle. I suspected there was my problem. Although spraying it out with WD-40 didnt free it initially. I had to take some drastic measures. I took out the ol mallet hammer! I then hit the c- shaped anchor in downward position to replicate the seat locked. You can see this in the pic where the green arrows are. I then pushed it back up by lifting the seat rod handle to up (shown by the red arrows). I had to repeatedly do this for around 5 mins, then it freed up. So hooray, I can now put by seat back rest back, without it moving forward. So it is nice and secure like it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
