Middle Row Seats that dont fold / tilt forward - How to fix

[Killswitch Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Killswitch]

Hi all, I spent 4 hours yesterday pulling apart my Middle row seat on the 120 looking for why it would not fold up behind the drivers seat. I finally worked it out. I spent about 30 mins here too searching.

First of all, to release it and get to it, use a long flat blade screw driver from the boot area, pull away the fabric from the snap lock joiner that runs from left to right. Pull the foam down and you should see 1 cable, for the middle seat, the drivers seat is harder but you can release it the same way with some patience.

Then you can pull it apart a little easier, and get to the frame. You need to bend up the outer frame as per the pictures below.





Hopefully this helps a few of you that don't have working seats.
