Default Rear Seat Latch issue.

issue is that the latch line is disconnected from the latch handle and now I cant unlatch it to fold my seats down. there isnt any clearance for me to fit any type of tool in there to try and pry the clamp off. So im stumped any ideas would be do wonders.

Please state the vehicle year and body.

On '96-'00 coupes (and sedans IIRC) you can also fold the seat down by using your key in the rear deck.

# 10 is disconnected from #2 and I cant find a way to pull up #10. any idea on how to do so? Clearance is super minimal. Ive tried to even get a fish hook to see if i can maybe catch the lock and pull it up but no go on that.

Any other ideas? would you guys think that an interior/ upholster shop is able to deal with it?

You're probably going to have to remove the seat cover and pull the foam away to get to it.

I think it screws back on.
