How to repair saloon jammed non folding rear seat

With a massive thanks to Steve (Devilish) who worked jointly with me on this mod

If you have a saloon with a rear folding seat, the chances are that at some point the button which releases the seat has become jammed and you have not been able to fix it.

This is due to a poor design which you will see in the how to below, but there is a fix which is simple straightforward and cheap, although the seat has to be completely removed from the car and the seat cover peeled back to carry out the mod.

Hi Rob/Steve.
Nice how to, I see you both keeping busy over the winter days

with regards to the zip you should be able to use a zip from an old coat, pair of jeans etc to re-zip the back of the seat up
