Tried to help someone to move some stuff recently and when I went to fold the rear seat back flat to make a larger boot space, I found I couldn't release it. It's the first time I have tried to do this since I got the car about a year ago so it's well past the take-back period.
It's a single seat back, not split, and it has a black metal overall cover across the rear of the seat back which looks as though it is held on by countersunk torx head screws.
I just want to check that it works the way I think it should: - I pull up the little loop handles at the top corners of the seats and two little orange plastic flags pop out next to them - as far as I can tell these are just meant to be indicators to show that the seat is released and can be moved, except it can't - the bolts at the side of the seat back aren't withdrawing from the holes they slide into so it is impossible to move the seat back away from its locked position even with the loops pulled up to the fullest extent.
Am I right to expect that if I pull the loops up and the orange flags pop up, the seat back should be free to move at that point?
