Old post, but is it worth buying a new button or should the old one stay in place if I can manage to get it threaded on? Is there a way to disassemble part of the seat to make it easier? Not looking forward to the process if it's as painful as it looks to be.

It's really not that difficult. If you need to, pop the back off the seat, it pops on just like a door panel. Easy to pop it off and then you can grab the rod and move it to where you need to thread the button on.

Turns out a flat-head screwdriver and some dental floss is all it took. Got the button re-installed and it works great!

The button on the passenger side of mine won't go down. The seat won't lock in the upright position either. It seems like the 'C' locking jaws are not releasing and clamping on the anchor point. Anyone else run into this?

Mine was like this when I bought my truck. Found an OE replacement for a couple bucks.

got one from the dealer for $8cad. i just dropped it in the hole and it screwed right on. for the really small parts like this i find the dealer has the best prices, no shipping costs and stuff arrives quickly. sticking my finger in to press the metal rod was annoying so fixing this was worth it for sure.

I just bought a 2008 Sport Edition and one of these are missing and the other one is loose and won't thread on properly.

So what is the actual name and part number for these buttons?

Where did you all get them from?

Oh nvm, I found what I was looking for.

FYI, if anyone is looking to buy a new one part # is 72661-35010-B1.

I was searching for knob as part description but it is a button.

another option to the Toyota piece
I was able to thread a 'somewhat' large/long drywall molly onto the rod, instead of buying the OEM button through Toyota.

Seems to work fine, and the bulbous shaped end of the molly fits the need to no longer jam my finger against the threaded rod to free up the seatback.

Just an alternative for those trying to think outside the box....

Thumbs up Seat Button Replacement
I ordered mine from

Toyota Parts and Accessories - Official Online Store

which sent me to my local dealership page

2007 Toyota 4Runner Button, rear seat back lock release. Stone - 7266135010B0 | COURTESY TOYOTA, TAMPA FL

$6.22 but was worth it. I needed two of them...

I stuck a flat head screw driver in-between plastic trim and seat cushion holding the metal rod in the center. Took a few tries but I got it to screw back on..
