Rear seat release pin repair

Post by butler1850 »

Anyone know how to repair a rear seat release pin which has popped out? I can't seem to find a way to disassemble the seat back to get the pin back in.

It looks like it's a simple hooked wire, but I need to get my fingers on it, to thread it back through the hole on the pin.

Thanks,

anyway to post a picture of how it's broken? might make it easier to give an answer.

It's tough to get a picture of, as I can barely see into the hole in the first place.

The pin is simple enough. A plastic pin, with a single hole about 2/3 of the way down. in the hole in the seat, I can see a hooked metal wire. I can't seem to just poke the pin into the hole in any way that'll hook the release wire.

I'm wondering if I can put another hooked wire down into the hole, and pull it up and out. I suspect it's not long enough, but worth a try.
