Hey all i REALLY need someones help here, a few months back i removed my rear seats for no real reason i suppose, but today i had my mature head on and i decided to refit them, only problem is whe i went to put them back in the anchorage point at the front was the wrong way round and the base "clicked" into place now i cant slide the seats forward beacuse of the obstructing "anchorage" point and i cant free the seats because for some stupid reason the seats wont release without them being all the way forward.......

Sorry for the long post put im really stuck now....

I'm sure if you just mess around pulling both the lever under the seats at front or the lever usually in boot and sliding it to different positions it will sort itself out :P

I would try having a word with the tech guys at Toyota if I were you. The seat is only meant to tilt when fully forwards.

it'll cost me a fortune at toyota, damn me, i've tried sliding it and pulling it and twisting it and i even got a little angry and tried ripping it out but nothing at all wont budge, think i might have to cut the bits of plastic to allow the seat to slide and then get replacemen ones from scrapyard or something,

cheers anyways guys

Hi again, having a guess here, but does the seat unbolt from the front edge?

I had a (very) quick look at mine yesterday and it seems you can remove a couple of plastic covers to unbolt the front leading edge of the seat. If so, can you lever it up and get to anything else, in order to help your problem?

As I said, just a guess but have a look and try to get at the problem before resorting to ripping the thing apart. You may find the retaining brackets get damages, too and have to fix more then you bargained for!

I did actually suggest you just ask a Tech question at Toyota, they sell us cars and fix/service but they are also supposed to offer support in such matters. If anything can be done, they SHOULD know and SHOULD be willing to offer you any help if possible. Gar. :P
