Hey guys,
I am hoping someone has done this as I’ve not found much about how to fix it. I have a 2006 convertible and the driver side seat is not folding. I pulled off the plastic shell in the rear and noticed the latch cable has no tension on it.
Luckily I have another seat I can play with, so I started digging into it. After removing the hinge bolt between the back and bottom, I was able to pull out the hinge with the latch attached to it. There is also a spring that should be there but it broke, regardless I was interested in the mechanisms Essentially, when you pull on the plastic handle on the side of the seat, it pulls the metal latch in the picture to release the seat.
the problem is, the latch in the picture seems to be attached with rivets that would need to be drilled out to replace ??? Has anyone had to fix this sort of thing?
Appreciate any help 🙏
