Does anyone know how to fix the rear seat latch? I just got the car so I'm not really ready to give it up yet to a dealer to fix.

Anyone know the trick to get it hooked back up or take the seat appart to get a better grab on the wire?

Thanks

I don’t quite understand what it is you are trying to do, but if it is the seat latch rattling, I rapped a bit of black electrical tape on the D ring and that took care of the rattle. I also had to do the same for the trunk latch.

Mine came loose when I accidently pushed a box against it. Its a bit of a fuss to get the ends over the metal lip again but keep trying. I got it done back again in 15 min or so. Had to lever one end over the metal lip and snap on the cover again.

Good luck.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

The latch handle on the rear seat that you pull to fold the seat down. The wire with the ball on the end disconnected its self from the handle. I need to hook these back together.

How does one pull the seat appart to get at the workings from inside?
