Rear Seat Not Engaging

[Knuttt]

Hi Everyone
Before I take a trip to my local dealer (who I have zero faith in), has anyone had issues with the rear seats not clicking back in place?

Specifically, the larger twin seat is proving VERY reluctant to engage with the hook.

Have managed so far but only by repeatedly slamming the seat back and fiddling the release switch at the same time.

Fingers crossed it's an easy fix.

I watched our salesman struggle to latch the rear seat in a showroom car (which was awaiting pre delivery inspection). It took a might slam to get it to click in. As we don't have our car yet I cannot advise further but would expect there to be some small adjustments in the latch mechanism to make this work as you would hope

Read that title and thought you were finding the Rear Seat to be a poor conversation partner.

You need to make sure that the bottom is located correctly. If not it will sit high and miss the top latch. It does take a bit of juggling

Yeah - I drove for a bit with the smaller side not engaged properly. Didn't realise until I next went to put it down. Just needed a slightly firmer push for me though.

Any guidance on this, I though about trying to lift the back out and then putting it back again but couldn’t see anything to release or undo…

When you release the top catch it just folds flat but when you go to put it back upright it can jump out of the lower bracket and then not lock the top. It is just a matter of jiggling it, as you move it back upright, into the correct place at the bottom until the top fits.

This happened to my back seat I managed to get the rear seat squab off the rear pin hinge on the wheel arch side. Which had a very flimsy plastic washer on it. This had come off causing the rear seat to misalign. I refitted it and is now ok fingers crossed ?

My larger backrest is also difficult to latch and unlatch. The near side lower hinge seems loose for some reason.
