Rear seat will not fold down

**Kwarner** · 11-21-2009 09:30 PM

So ive tried to fold down the passanger side rear seat, the 60, and it wont come down. The release handle wont pop no matter how hard you pull and its not locked or anything. I can pull the handle as far as the 40 seat but it just wont release... anyone have any ideas?

i had the same problem on my c5.. is there a tab you can pull up and put down and play around with?

well on the 40 side when the handle releases a concealed tab pops up that is red. you can see the very top of the tab but cant pull it out, if i used pliers and pulled on it you think it might release?

sit in the seat with your legs outside the car. then slam your shouler into the seat while tugging on the lever. After a few tries it will open.

When it's folded down, use a hex key to adjust the bolt it locks onto. That may help make it easier to unlock each time.

Im mad at how easy that was, I have been struggling with my 40%. Just tried this and it worked first try, I have tried so much stuff its not even funny.
