Digging up an old thread here... and Hi-jacking it too

my EK1 rear seat latch (for the back rest) is broken by the previous owner... So I cant fold it down... the little pulling knob is broken off and there is no way I can get anything down there to grip it and pull it up...

I've tried every way possible to lift the latch up with a screw driver, a pry bar and have even resorted to kicking it in fury and just get a new seat (which I need to do anyways)

Does any one have any idea on how to move the latch up to release the latch so I can frisby the seat to kingdom come?

where in sydney are you,i could help....if not,if your chucking the seat anyway why not cut open the upholstery

If you have small hands, you can probably pull on the latch lol, would be super hard though.

Travis, Im near Milperra... and you know what? I actually never thought that far about cutting the upholstery.
Have you done it before?

Tiksie, my fat hands have problems opening a can of coke =(

my workshops in dural if you need a hand,i don't come across it that often but i'v had to do it on a few rare occasions.as i said if your chucking the seats anyway that why not

got it out...
had to slice the interior...

for future reference guys, cut it about 3-4 cm down from the top... not a 30cm line like I did!!! =P
