ok i bought an ek hatch a few weeks ago. and the driver side rear seat wont fold down because the release lever is missing. is there a way to get it down with out this? maybe a screw driver or something. (which ive tried.)

 

Do you see a broken piece of the release lever or is it gone completely?
Try getting a new one. Or.. If it's broken I think there is a round plastic guide there that you can pop out then remove the old broken ****. (I think)

 

look into the hole where the release **** used to be. u should see a threaded screw. get a new release **** and screw it onto that screw. it probably got uscrewed from frequent use and got lost.
