Two days ago I went to load the Mini up with a bunch of useless crap and Im pretty sure I broke the latch for the drivers side rear seat. I pulled the latch and heard a snap. Now I can't get the seat down. Anyone else have this problem? Or even a suggestion? I tried using a screw driver, but after seeing how the other side works I noticed that wasn't going to work. I saw someone had posted something about this is 2007. They took it to a dealership. Im hoping thats not my only option.

Thoughts....

 

Did you ever fix this? I did the same thing on my passengers side rear...

 

No, I never did. Sold the car about a year ago. Sorry.

 

Pry the plastic housing (around the latch) off, and then you'll see where the latch broke off from the spring loaded lever. Pull that up with a pair of pliers or something.
