Touareg :: Can't Fold The Rear Seats
Nov 6, 2003
The instruction manual gives several easy steps:
- Remove head restraint from backrest you want to fold forward (easy enough)
- Pull loop located on the front edge of seat cushion and fold it forward (wasn't too bad until you try to pull the seat all the way forwards and it just doesn't want to)
- Put headrest into seat
- Fold down backrest .
All those other instructions aren't applicable since I can't get past #2 in the instructions. Alright, so I pull the seat to the front, but it won't get all the way. Seems like this is in the way
By now I figure, heck I don't want to force it, so I'll just put the seat back and have the dealer tell me how. The leather wasn't really done well and it snagged on the seatbelt clip resulting in

How the heck you fold the rear seats down...I would say I am average to above average when it comes to mechanics and I have spent a couple of hours tinkering with the seat to no avail.

I have an issue with my rear seats. The lever doesn't even feel like its attached to the inner latch assembly to pop. Have any of you had this issue and found a way to pop them?

Just wondering if the rest of you have noticed that when you fold down the rear seats (especially for long periods of time) that indentations from the underlying metal posts and brackets form in the leather seats. I have the Nappa leather interior.
Wouldn't this ruin the seats over a short period?

I noticed that my rear seats, right passenger side (60%) split, when I grab bottom of it, it feels like it is very loose. Like it is not latched. I folded the seats down and put them up again with more force but it is still loose.

I guess my curious nature got me in trouble today. I took out the ski bag today just to wipe it down and see what it looked like and when I went to put it back in, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to fold it back up with that belt and everything and make it fit in that little compartment. I looked in the manual but it doesn't have instructions on how to fold it properly.

I have a 2010 f-250 lariat with a drivers side power fold mirror that does not fold. The part number is 1448007. Do they interchange? My mirror is a Power Fold, heated, extending type.

I have a 2006 Sonata, and surprisingly I don't think I have ever needed to fold down the rear seats. However, the other day I was bringing home a rug from Home Depot and discovered that I cannot get the right rear seat to fold down. The latch at the top of the seatback simply does not budge when I try to pull up on it to fold down the seat. I checked the locking mechanism, and it is not locked, so I don't know what the problem is.
I even flipped it back and forth several times between locked and unlocked, just in case something was stuck in that mechanism, but that didn't work. I also disconnected the middle seat belt, thinking that perhaps the seat is not designed to be folded down when the middle seat belt is in place, but that didn't work either. The latch on the left rear seat works just fine. Unfortunately it is the smaller of the two, and so is generally less useful.

I've just bought a 2005 XC90 and one of the rear (3rd row) seats is jammed in the uprigh position and will not fold down. The problem is that the lever does not release the base of the seat to slide back.
I have tried poking my fingers in and have examined the side that is working to see how the mechanism works. It would appear that the catches at each side that hold the base of the seat in position do not swivel around enough when the lever is lifted up. I have tried lifting the lever as far as I dare but I'm worried that if I try any harder something will break.

The rear seat on the passenger side wont fold down... I don't feel the mechanism release when I pull the lever... I have my trunk sealed off because I have two 15z so I cant get to it via the trunk...

Elantra GT ... Most of the time I leave the right side rear seat folded down. Every once in a while I need to return it to the normal upright configuration. That goes fine, but then later when I try to fold the seat down again the cushion (the one that you sit on) gets stuck and I have a hard time folding the seat back down again. I yank on the strap, pulling forward, upward etc. and it doesn't do anything.
Eventually, and seemingly at random, the cushion pops loose and I can fold the seat down. I can't figure out where it is getting stuck. Can I lubricate the metal parts with silicone spray or Lemon Pledge or something (I wouldn't want to use anything greasy that would get on the seat cushions)? Yes, I read the owners manual and I am following the proper procedure for folding/unfolding the seat.

I cant get my rear seat back to fold down anymore. I was on some very rough roads over the weekend and when I went to fold the seat back down the handle doesnt move. Is there a way to fold it without? Its almost like something is jammed which may be from the pounding the truck took over those roads.

Silly question but what are the 2 round plastic buttons on the back seat for? They're located on the back support near the lower lumbar regions on each side.

My wife's 06 T-reg has started experiencing a squealing/whirring sound from underneath. The sound appears to be coming from underneath the back seat. It starts at appx 20MPH and continues as we drive. The sound doesn't get louder, it just continues.
Tonight when we got home, we also noticed a smell of something. Possibly a clutch-type smell. Am I looking at a transfer case going bad?

Apparently, VW assumes that if you have a sunroof, you must be willing to tolerate rainwater dripping on your front seats and running inside the headliner. I can accept almost anything, but this is beyond belief.
I have seen a mention or two of water on the floor (and I didn't even check for that), maybe a leaking sunroof before, but I never thought it would happen to me.

I just want a conformation on something.. I had a 2005 Elantra hatchback and when folding down the back seats the bottom part of the seat would first lift up and back so the rest of the seat would fold down nice and flat. I don't see that option with my 2012 Elantra..... That was a nice little feature on my 2005.

I just bought a 2012 Elantra GL, I'm very proud of it!
My car is equipped with a remote starter, and I'm wondering if it is possible to set the rear defrost and the heating seats in order to having them activated when the car starts? I can not find any answers about that in the owner's manual or the remote starter manual. For now I have to activate these functions manually when I enter in the car. It would be great having side mirrors and rear glass defrosted before entering in the car.

I've gone over every square inch of the rear seats, from both inside and from the trunk, and can't figure out how to fold the back seats down... Usually, there is some kind of latch that you pull, but all I find are baby seat restraints. And from the trunk, I can't find anything. Do these seats fold down at all?

I've got white string coming out from my rear seats between the seam of the back part of the seat and the part that you sit on. Not sure if this is a part of the seat or something that was left over that they didn't remove.

So I picked up my new 2016 LWB loaded 6 passenger Santa Fe yesterday and I'm finding today that NONE of the heated seats are doing anything. The ventilation (fan) works, the heated steering wheel works, but all 4 seats are inoperative. Now, I'm coming from a 2014 Santa Fe Sport with the same heated and ventilated seats that worked fine, and my life has a 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD and hers all work fine. I've checked the fuses located in the dash and those are fine.
