I have a 2014 GL350 Bluetec with three rows of seats. The second-row seat-back won't fold back up after I pressed the button to access the third row. Now, the seat is stuck with the seat-back in the folded position. While I can manually fold the seat to lock it into place, I can't lift the seat-back, as it remains folded.
The dealer says a frame needs to be replaced, which will cost $3,200. I had a similar issue in 2015, which the dealer fixed under the OEM warranty by stating that the "Bowden cable came out from its anchor, causing the seat-back to get stuck".
I'm looking for help to unlock the 2nd row seat. I don't mind not using the fold function again if I can unlock it and use the second-row bench as is. We can still access the third row using the single seat in the second row. Any assistance would be appreciated.
