Default HELP!! Seatback stuck forward!!!!????

Got out of my Coupe just now...seat folded forward to reach through the front edge of the hatch area for something...now, seatback is stuck forward!

No matter how many times I release the handle, it will go forward,but NOT back beyond about 45 degrees...

WTF???

EDIT: Thanks to people not as "duh" as me, I now know to use the handle on the back of the headrest to move the seatback back. Sigh....

mess with the lever thingy on the back of the headrest mine did something similar. thought the little lever on the back of the headrest was gonna break before i got it to go back. try that lever, then try the lever on the back and the side lever at the same time. hope that helps if not i have no clue as to what else it could be.

don't get insulted, but you have to hold the thing on the back of the seat to put it forward and back. sorry if you tried that already....

Thank you...it's official...I am an IDIOT!!!

I hadn't adjusted it since almost a year ago when I bought it...thought pulling the side handle was it...DOH

Guess I could have read the manual, too
