Rear seats won't fold forward

Tried to fold me seats down to get something in the boot and it seems they are completly jammed in.

I have pressed the buttons down which should relese it but they don't do anything.

I have noticed a nuber of things though:

  1. The buttons seem to be already about a cm pressed in which makes me think they are broken.
  2. The left hand side of the seat has more of cap from the catch then te right, so it might be stuck on something.
I know this sounds complicated so im going to take some pics tomoroow,but has anyone got any intial ideas on how i can get them down ?

Update

Ok, first thing i tried today was unscrew the right hand side from the car, i then pressed the button on the left hand side and the seat folded forward. So now we know that the right hand side is the problem.

Then i pressed the button on the right and side to try and pull the metal thing out, but i won't move. I unscrewed to tiny screws around it but that made no difference.

Any suggestions ??

please don`t laugh.

i thought i had a major problem with this, i was standing at the rear of the car, lookin in, tryin to push the seats down, i was soooooo damn sure there was nothing wrong with that button, the wife comes outside and says "here`s your coffee, what are you doing now"

so i explained, she said










"Perhaps remove the babyseat might help ya"

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr women they always hav to be right :(
