Hi all, been through the search and found nothing. The button that releases the single rear seat on drivers side seems stuck or not springing to engage on strike plate, anyone fixed one before please. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Anyone? Had a very close look but cannot see how it's meant to operate and really don't want to start pulling cover off unless have to.

I've never actually done one of them but I do know the cover needs to come off - start by removing the edging then try easing away the backing but this could be damaged to the point where you need a trimmer to replace it for you. I had to do something similar for the other side to get to the seat belt.

Had mine stick occasionally, seat belt being in the way does not help either.

Always cleared it by a good solid bang of the seat in and out of catch. Add a drop a easing spray may help. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Not sure if this is the same manual as I bought as a CD years ago, but if it is just 'find on page' "Rear Seat Backrest Cover" for a description of what bits need to come off to remove back rest.

I must admit that it is not that clear about how to actually remove the seat back panel. just show a diagram pointing to the 4 edges

Don't know if this is what you're after?
Had removed mine when I changed out the interior.

Thanks all but used the YB method and all seems good again  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
