My first post. For years I managed to find the answers to all my question on the forum, but not this time. Hope someone can help?
The rear seats on my w211 estate are stuck upright. On the smaller right side nothing happens when I pull the handle. I managed to get the plastic trim around the handle off and can see that the lever is still attached to the handle and moves up when you pull the handle. On the larger left side the headrest fold down and the front passenger seat moves forward when I pull the handle, but thats it, no movement at all. The loadspace cover assembly is still attached so I assume (hope) that that is what stops it from folding down. Am I right to think that it is the right side that is broken?
And the key question, how do I get it to work again? There are a few posts about the same problem on W210s talking about taking the seat apart, is that the way forward?
Many thanks!
