2015 GL450 2nd Row Seat Won’t Lock in Place

Hi All,

I would greatly appreciate any help.

The 2nd row seat (driver side) won’t lock into place at the floor. It appears the hooks are stuck in the “out” position and can’t secure at the base.

thank you in advance for any help!

Patrick

Put a screwdriver through the slot where it goes around the floor latch, pull on the release handle, and then pull the screwdriver out to try to unlatch it. I've gotten this to work on door latches before. Hopefully, it will work here.
