no idea what to do with 17 views come on help me out

 

Needle-nose pliers FTW.

 

Is it the plastic peice or the whole rod? Doesn't the plastic piece screw on? I think it should have a plastic piece around the base, pop that up and look or feel. I searched for you but I couldnt find anything so give us more info.

hey guys thanks sorry for getting pissed but i def will be working on it tomorrow and get it cleared up and let you know how it goes. thanks again

 

i have the same problem. the plastic piece (****) pulled right out. there is no way in hell i can get needle nose pliers down in that hole.

 

I would love to know how to fix this. The same thing happened in my eg. Now I can't remove my seats.

 

glad im not the only one cuz looking at it i don't think there is a way to get anything down there!!

thats what im talking about. ive got GSR leathers in the back of my 99 hatch and i cant take one side out so i can fab up a support bracket.

 

You could unscrew the other **** and screw it on to the other seat temporarilly. I bet the **** is stripped and the screw is fine. You could always spend a few dollars and buy a new ****. WOW what a technical post. Im bored though. PEACE

 

the rod has fallen too far to even make it work and i think part of the piece of platci is still on the threaded rod so i can't get the other **** on there

 

Yeah on mine I can't even find the rod or else I would just screw it back on.

 

yeah so far mine is still a no go now i didn't have a lot of time to work on it till it was dark but still not going to happen i don't think

 

i have the same problem on my 90 hatch.... anybody have a quick fix????

 

I think theres a plastic ring around the ****. I wonder if that will pop out so you can reach the metal rod. Not sure just a thought.

 

What if you came from underneath or where ever the rod leads to, that allows them to fold and push the rod back up and screw a new **** on then??

 

well i can't get underneath mine the trim pieces in the trunk do not permit you to really get in there at all. i think the rod in mine has fallen down so far that i can't get the **** to thread on!!! and i can't and really don't want to take the other one off! what to do what to do

 

i'm in the same boat brother........

 

a buddy of mines twisted mines off by accident and thought that he broke it. i just kept on searching and searching for the little screw on part in the seat and just found it. it won't fall all the way down, it's probably just leaning to the side a little.....can't remember how i did it actually, but i was messing around with the other side and figured out how to get the seat down without the ****, just use like a flat head or something strong enough to pry the hook to unhook it, and then get something skinny and long and just feel around in the hole, until you find the screw and just pop the **** back on....well, twist it on that is....gl guys...........

 

yeah was looking at it again tonight there is no way to get in there and once yhou get the rod to the center how do you get it to stay there? cuz i actually broke the platic ring off that side on the top!!!
