Rear Seats Issue

Has anyone has had any issues w/ corrosion on the lower rear seat locking mechanism? Mine had a lot of rust and wasn't allowing the strap to unlock them. Dealership wanted $1000 to fix the issue since they couldn't find the locking mechanism and said they need it to order the whole lower seats.[ATTACH]Rear Seats Issue-img_5119-jpg[/ATTACH]

No, I haven’t had that issue. Can the rust be cleaned off the latch, and then lubricated?

Disassemble, knock the rust down with wire wheel/wire brush, spray it with a rust inhibitor and paint, put it back together.

Do you put a lot of wet stuff in your vehicle regularly or do you go to the coast a lot and leave the windows down or doors open?

What is allowing it to get so wet? Agree with lube/recondition.


I had a Dodge that needed a simple part to work. For liability reasons dealer would only sell the entire seat assembly. Solved it with bailing wire.

I was able to take it apart and re-lube it. Had to reroute the strap to the outer part of the ring for it to be able to work. Not sure if the strap was stretched out or if the ring that holds the strap stretched out.
Not sure how what led to this, I live in Montana. Maybe trapped snow after ski trips but I hardly pull on those straps. Thanks for the help!
