Default seat problem please help

the peice you pull up on the passenger to pull it forward came off. I cannot remove the seat because its all the way back and the rear bolts are covered. Does anyone have pics of the bottom of the seat to see how the peice goes back on. thanks guys

Rob

I'm assuming you mean the latch on the side of the seat at the seat bottom, has fallen off?

Well, first did you try the release behind the headrest? It also pulls up on the latches.

Assuming that neither of the latches can pull the seatback forward, confirm that you can't motor or slide the seat all the way forward on its tracks and still reach those rear bolts?

Finally, that side latch just slips on and there is a metal clip that holds it into place. Putting it back on is easy. Getting if off (sts) is tough with the seat in the car but possible. Bottom line, you should be able to just push it back onto the spindle. Perhaps the metal clip has broken off, inside the handle?

HTH,

Smash

He's talking about the slider on the seat.

It just clips in from the sides. It's spring loaded.
