rear seat question

Post by cerbomark »

2016/. what angle does the from hook on the rear bottom seat look like? I can t get it to go down the hole and I m wondering if someone bent it?
So if you say it goes straight up and down then I d have to bend it straight again. Thanks.

no good , bent it down to almost straight down. Still doesn't t lock in.
I don t want to bend it too far down. I d have to see a pic of another to be sure. The other side is locked in but I m afraid to pull it out for fear of breaking it and then I d have two hooks not working.

the plastic tab might be wasted or stripped out now

even so, you d think the seat would sit flat down. It pops up a little. Thinking maybe tab still not straight enough. Don t want to over bend and break. I can t find a pic to save my life, LOL.

I can't get the seat out to get a pic due to the child seats, but the tab on the seat that drops straight down into the actual car, there should be a plastic clip on the tab, and a plastic "receiver" so to speak on the car side. Without a pic it's hard to explain, but if a plastic piece is missing, like one of the ones on mine, it won't click in.

Plastic is there. Like I said the hook was bent back. I can bend it straight down but don t want to keep bending or I guess it may break.
Wish I had a pic.

FYI/. Dealer will fix under warranty. Clip may be broken.
