I think I'm being a bit simple...

Hi all, hope everyone had a good Xmas. I have a bit of an issue with the passenger seat and think I'm being a bit of a div.

When you lift the flappy handle on the seat shoulder (leather, not recaro), slide it forward to allow a passenger in the rear, when you then try to return the seat to its normal position it just slides free up and down the runner without locking. Is there some trick I'm missing?

The only way I could get it to lock is if the rear passenger swings their feet out the way of the front seat and the front seat passenger sits in while it uncontrollably slides itself all the way back and locking. This surely cannot be right, as I was ferrying some older relatives around over Xmas and my 'silly new car with seats that don't work' became rather embarrassing! Please help

 

Ah so you have to scoot it forward a bit before you do the flappy handle pull so that it doesn't squash rear passengers I'm assuming. Thanks, ill give that a go
