[FIXED] Help - I got my rear seat stuck

[OldGuyNewJeep]

When I flipped the rear seat in my 2dr from folded position to upright, there was a bungee that I didn’t see. Now the seat will not flip back up. The bungee is really stuck - there’s no pulling it out.

Ideas?

Cut bungie? Or take seat out to try from other angles

I did cut it, but no use. It’s a thin, flat elastic.

I can’t take the seat out and that is the problem. I can flip the back up and it functions as a seat, but if I try to fold it forward (step 1 for removing it) it’s no good. The latch that holds it to the floor is the one that has a bungee stuck in it.

Brute force for the win! Grabbed with vice grips and put my weight into it. It ripped apart. Phew!

Lol, glad you got it. Was my next suggestion. Brute force

I have the same situation, but mines is the floor liner piece that stuck in the rear seats latch section and I can’t reach them. (not sure if I describe it correctly) Is there other way I can remove the seat in this case?

Like they taught us in the Air Force...Beat to fit, Paint to match.

Thanks. I did pull the floor liner out, but some of piece still inside the latch, I can’t reach them, that’s why I am asking… Is it possible we unlatch the front latches? (the two that can remove the whole seat)

That I'm not sure of. Do you have a long pair of needle nose pliers? You might be able to reach in and grab the pieces and pull enough out so you can work with the seat.

Might try a pry bar under the seat with the latch opened as much as possible. Yet another reason for a 2dr without the rear seat
