    drivers side 2nd row seat back won't drop

    Has anyone had issues trying to fold the seat back down behind the drivers seat ? So when you pull the release (manual not powered) the seat back moves forward about 3 to 4 inches then stops and whatever I have tried it will not move past that position ,although it does go back to its normal position. The whole seat slides forward to allow 3rd row entry but again the seat back only moves slightly, the twin seats on the other side are working correctly. Any ideas before I go to the local stealers under warranty ? Thanks Guys

    RussL, are you using the button at top of seat or lever on side of base? Pressing button on top of backrest will tilt backrest fwd a few inches and allow you to push whole assembly fwd, to lower the backrest completely you need to lift the lever up which is on the seat base side, this should then let you fold the complete backrest down flat. If that doesn't work, its back to dealers I'm afraid.

    Hi Trevor, your advise was spot on thanks I was finally able to lower that pesky seat back. Not sure what LR were up to though with the design of this one ! On my D4 if you wanted to lower all the 2nd row you could do so from the back as well as either side by leaning over. Having to drop the seat using 2 levers does seem a little too over specified. Thanks again
