    Middle row not folding flat

    Before I raise this to the dealer, can I check there’s no trick to doing this and that they should both fold flat using the switches in the boot?

    Only done it once since picking up my new car but it did look a little disappointing to how flat it was. Certainly didn't seem to lay as low as my 2017 model but that was manual as opposed to electric. I will try and take a picture later on.

    Brand new. And the left side doesn’t fold as far as the right side either

    Assuming the seat belts are undone, nothing on the seats and the headrests aren’t fouling the front seats?………

    This happened on mine when I first got it. From memory it was down to the position sensor setting. For the life of me I cannot remember how I fixed it …..but I did.

    I am now having the reverse problem. The single seat goes back upright fully and then moves forward of the other pair by an inch or so. I am guessing that it too is a repositioned sensor setting ….but as I can’t remember how I fixed it going right down I cannot fix it not going fully back (apart from brief pulses on the switch to nudge it back.)

    Middle row of seats is slightly raised on face-lift to improve comfort, might be why they don't fold completely flat like pre face-lift. Seem to recall someone else raised this issue as well.

    Slightly raised on the facelift? Interesting... Wonder if this gives a fraction more leg room?!

    So not very flat. But obviously as flat as it can go. The back is tight up against the seat.

    Have you tried holding the switch down, as this will force the seats down a touch more.

    I know you said it was tight on the seat but have you tried the recline lever on the side to see if the seat is semi reclined? Also have you slide the seats further forward? Mine goes down flatter than that photo but the head restraints are closer to the backs of the front seats

    Hi Wolfpack I wasn't the originator of the query just trying to be helpful. I've sort of excepted that that's as good as it gets. Waiting for Molesworth to come back Whistle

    Had this on my 21MY. When I looked, the near side middle row headrest was not folding enough and causing the seat to stop folding. I pushed it in and all ok.👍
