3rd row not going down easily

Anyone else having trouble folding their 3rd row? The lever requires so much extra force that my wife cant even do it on her own. We even took it to the dealership and they claim nothing wrong with it. Any suggestions on how to fix or escalate with MB? It is our first MB vehicle.

Yes, I had this issue. The trick ended up being to pull the top of the seat firmly towards you (i.e. to the rear of the vehicle) and with the other hand, operate the lever. It should then release very easily. No actual faults, just part of the design..

Thanks Wiggis. That actually works!! I did not know this before and had a mild back sprain after doing it the first time.
