H1LM002G55 Expert Date registered: Mar 2010 Location: S Florida / Geneva / Jeddah Vehicle(s): 500 GE, G55, LM002, H1 Posts: 1796 | Passenger Side REAR seat not folding forward Went to load something into the 500GE today and pulled down on the rear seat folding mechanism lever on the side of the seat. The lever traveled passed its typical arc and did not allow the rear seatback to fold forward. Any ideas on this? Thank you! Edited by H1LM002G55 7/2/2018 5:00 PM | ||

My guess is that your lever has moved on the splined shaft and just needs to be realigned. The mechanism is all visible with the back cover off. | ||

The plastic handle shroud separated from the nut that is embedded inside the plastic. I think heat and age caused this to happen. 2) Ordered new rear seat handle from MB. 3) Removed 6 Phillips #2 screws from seatback 4) Removed Handle 5) Mechanic used a crowsfoot wrench and hammer to tap off old nut 6) Replaced seat back panel 7) Pressed on new handle after carefully aligning it to make sure all plastic prongs on the handle receptacle were in place outside of the nut 8) All is good Edited by H1LM002G55 11/10/2018 3:49 PM (IMG_1669.JPG) (IMG_1670.JPG) (IMG_1671.JPG) Attachments ---------------- IMG_1669.JPG (113KB - 0 downloads) IMG_1670.JPG (122KB - 0 downloads) IMG_1671.JPG (147KB - 0 downloads) | ||
