Second (rear) seat fold troubles
I have an 03 limited with a rear seat folding issue. Its always been a problem but it seems to be getting worse. Whenever I try to fold up the 2nd seat, the seatback will fold down properly, but it will not lift in the up position. I used to be able to slam the seat down and try again and it would work, now nothing. I consulted the manual and followed the directions with no help. Ive siliconed the lever and engagement mechanism at the bottom. Is there an adjustment that I can make? The problem is on the double bench side. The single seat seems to work as its supposed to...
THanks,

RE: Second (rear) seat fold troubles
I think I fixed the problem -
Take the bottom seat cover off (about 10 phillips screws) and you will find a cable adjustment. The one cable looked loose so I tightened tghe slack out of it. Now you dont have to slam anything@@@!!!!!

Montero rear seat tilt/fold
Figured out the process for tilting the 2nd row seat forward for the 2002 Montero. (1) Use only the slide release on the seat back - NOT the handle lever by the seat bottom (2) Do NOT fold the seat back completely down on to the seat bottom (3) Slide/hold the release on the seat back with one hand - fold the the seat back just 20% or so - then grab underneath, behind the seat bottom with the other hand and lift. The seat should easily roll up and over.
Ha! I have the owner's manual and still couldn't figure it out. I hope this helps.
