I can’t get my rear fold down seat to fold down. Basically, I can lift the knob a little, but it will not come up all the way enough to release the seat for it to fold. I can verify the cables are in the handle where they should be at a glance. Any ideas? Also, any ideas on how to attach plastic permanently…I chipped the plastic latch handle as I was trying to force it to release…🙂

Your cable is stretched because the release mechanism is jammed.New cable,new release.
