Rear Seatbacks Won't Latch

Is the seatbelt stuck in the latch? Sometimes mine won't catch right away but that is usually because I didn't use enough force--it needs very little.

 

hmmm. interesting. i had my seatbacks down because i was moving and dont remember any issues although it do remember that it was not extremely easy to get everything out of the way to close it again but nothing major.

 

Yeah, that's what happened with me. I don't bring them down all that much, but the first time I did (to install seat covers), the belts got in the way. I didn't notice that they were.

 

I have to slam mine pretty hard to get them to latch. The cushion fits nice and tight, so quite a bit of force is required.

If I break a latch, big deal.....that's why I have a warranty.

 

I've had a problem also, I wonder if there is an adjustment there????

 

That happened to me once and I had to use force to get it to lach.

 

The passenger side seat latches every easily. The driver side seat has always required quite bit of force for the button to pop up and the red to be covered by the button. The red is a unique indicator as to the lock status of the seats.

Anyway, I don't think you can hurt anything if it requires a bit more force to get the seats to latch. I don't think that seat back cushion fit is all that percise compared to other parts of the car.

 

Ditto

 

Slam the crap out of it. Mine don't latch either unless I really
wail on them. I suppose they'll loosen up over time..

The Toyota dealer had to replace one of my latches because it quit latching. They had to order a part, but they installed it during my first oil change.
