Rear seat back stuck in unlatched position

[nuclearmonkey]

Wondering if anyone has had their rear seat back stuck open after pulling the release strap, and what you can do to fix. As of now, seat back won’t latch in the upright position.

Have you added seat covers to the rear seats? Mine did that and it was the seat cover was over the latch

I have seat covers, but as far as I can tell, the area is completely unobstructed. The pull strap seems to be stuck in the pulled position - so the seat goes back all the way, but doesn’t have the metal come back around to lock it into place.

You may need to push the seat back into the lock position with "sharpish" movement ... Not a "slam"...

Hi I have the same issue but I did not read this post before. I closed the seat with a slam and now it is stuck, with the tab pulled up (in the release position) but the seat back won’t go forward.

Any ideas?
