    Rear Seat locks

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Has anyone else had issues with the rear seats not locking back into place once you unlock them? Mine have been unlocked for a while but when I make sudden stops they fling down and it's starting to get annoying. Is there a special way you have to lock it or do I have to replace the latches?

    Jam those seat backs back in there!
    There should be little red tabs by where the release switch is. When you push the seats in place that tab should fall, showing the seats are locked in place. Make sure that falls. If it does, maybe try locking the seats with your key.
    If they still fall forward after that, sounds like something is broken.

    Yeah I've tried the slamming already. I tried pulling the tab up while slamming. I tried pushing the tab down when the seats are back. But it's both sides not just one so I don't understand

    The rods that the seats lock into might be too far in or too far out. You need to look in from the trunk and see how the locks are hitting them. It could be that they got loose.

    I couldn't really see how they hit while looking from in the trunk

    Oh I see. Yeah can't help you there. If it were an Avant, you'd be able to see that.
