Hey JS, sometimes the seat drops back momentarily after you pop it and re latches without grabbing the anchor. Try pulling the release while prying the latch open. If that works, it should catch properly. I'd put some **** in there too. Possibly spray grease of some type. HHS 2000 from Wurth is amazing for latches and hinges.Hey guys
My 79 passenger seat latch will not reclose
I pulled the latch to pull the seat forward. Now it won’t go back to the open position to reclose.
Thoughts?
thanks for the suggestions. The latch is stuck at a 3oclock positionHey JS, sometimes the seat drops back momentarily after you pop it and re latches without grabbing the anchor.

Hope that helps

Use a pair of large channel locks across the bottom of the latch. Hook the upper jaw in the latch opening, place the lower jaw against the back side (the curved edge opposite the latch lever) and pull towards 9 oclock while pulling as hard as feasible on the release lever. (you may have to push the lever a bit towards 2oclock to unjam the linkage.)Tha is for the help guys
thanks for the suggestions. The latch is stuck at a 3oclock position
It needs to be at a 6oclock position in order for the seat to lay flat to relatch
Do you know how to pry open?
