Jammed Rear Sear - Sta. Wag 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter Cohen on  Sun Dec 3 10:41 CST 2000 [RELATED]

My left rear seat jammed with the center latch closed and the outside latch open. I was able to get it folded down by folding down the center armrest, removing the plastic shield, and reaching inside the seat and grabbing the release rod with vice grips & lifting up.

Upon inspection, the plastic release lever had a peg broken off. When I removed the plastic plate & lever, I found that I could operate the outer latch by hand, but the rod to the center latch didn't seem to be moving. Has anyone had any experience with working on this mechanism? How do you access the rods inside the seat to see what the problem is?
