S211 Third Row seats suck 1/2 way

[KentishKiwi]

Hi all

I was hoping for a happier post to start my forum membership with, but never mind.

I dropped my 2007 e320 wagon in to a tyre dealer to have the two rears replaced yesterday. The third row seats were up at the time as I had used them that morning.

This morning I went to chuck the kiddies in the boot for the school run and found that the back section of folding seats had been stuck at a 45 degree angle against the (still open) cushion section and I couldn't budge it. The tyre guys must have made a hash of it somehow when they were sorting the space-saver.

It's still stuck that way now, and have booked in with the local dealer to have a look at, but thought I'd test the waters and see if anyone else had come across this before. Solutions, anyone? Don't fancy ripping the interior to bits, I only bought it a month ago!

Cheers

I think this is one of those problems that you have to see in person to solve...

Turns out there was a spring to a catch which locked the seats in place that had popped off. The tyre guys managed to sort it out in the end.
