E320 estate 7 seats 2006 right position.

[merc estate]

Just starting to put the granchildren in the back occasionally, can you enlighten me. When you have the seats up, should the back upright lock into position somehow ? i have the blind cover up at about 70% ? should i pull it out a bit and let it hang down ??? ime stumped and i want to have the little angels safe, so help me get it right, Thanks

Its a weird design isnt it... I think for the seats to work the best you have to remove the blind altogether... fold the seats down then is slides off...

Also, when the seat base is in it's usable position it stops the back from trying to close. There's a little spring clip thingy that sees to that.
