I just thought I'd share this one with the community...

Today I had to rush out in my disco with some friends - 7 of us in all.
So, I had to put the back seats down.

Now, would the backs pop up - no they would not!

They've done this to me before but I'd forgotten the trick I learned the last time. I was sure I used the trusty tools the last time; hammer and pipe wrench; but even with their help I could not make the seats work:mad:

After losing my temper and beating the chairs with the hammer I finally set about using a bit of logic.

Turns out my problem was actually the release mechanism being jammed open!

The black webbing release on the of back seats pulls on a cable which seems to snake around the front of the seat and ultimately pulls on the actual release mechanism on the underside on the other side of the seat.

So, if you find this cable on the underside and pull it closed the seat backs popup nicely.

I only needed to use my fingers to help the spring close the mechanism - about 1/2" of movement - the hammers are not needed :)

Hopefully I'll remember this the next time....
