For real, THIS is the video that people need to see. You are the only one that explains that it isn't supposed to be lowered. I was going nuts trying to figure out why they'd design it so difficult to release.

Why put that strap there that does nothing? I was grabbing on my2009 f150 strap for 30 minutes trying to get seat down.Then I came across your video and it all made sense. Thanks I wish I would've watched a 5 minute video instead of 30 minutes wasted on strap pulling. This was helpful really .👍

For real, I just got a 2010 supercab and was trying to wrap my head around why they'd design the latch that way. It wasn't until halfway through this that I realized it's not designed to be lowered for convenience or storage, just if you need to remove the seat or service something behind it. Doi 🤦‍♂️

I sure appreciate it. I have a 2014 and couldn’t figure out how to lower it because I wanted to clean behind there. This is so dumb how it is designed. Thanks for the help.

Hey! Greetings! And thanks for the comment!

I have seen videos of a strap that attaches to the pin so you can reach for this strap and pull to release the latch as the guy had a few things stored behind the seat. Like jumper cables and other smaller stuff that can fit.

Thank for the video. I got a 2012 and curious why they didn’t fold down but now I know how. Now that I see how I’m not sure it’s necessary. There is no reason why to fold it down. There is no storage etc.

@Motorcarnut

True, but if you have to remove them for any reason that’s how you get to the seat bolts to remove

I tack welded a strap to my pin and ran it through the headrest. Just gotta pull up on it and it releases. I imagine they make an attachment for them but never looked.

Make sure the roll pin on the latch (located on rear wall) is pushed up to the top of the slot it is in. Lift the seat bottom up and press the seat back to the closed position. Then the seat will latch back up. Good luck.

@@socialnerdia Try resetting the latch half on the seat by moving it with your finger. Be sure that the roll pin mounted on the rear wall half of the latch is not all the way at the top. If it is, the seat half of the latch misses it below the wall half. Press it down an inch or so and then lift up and press the seat back while slowly lowering the seat down. Good luck.

@ Benjamin Williams and anyone else that might end up having the same problem. I was able to get it latched back in by wrapping a string around the gold pin on the driver side and then pulling it down once it was in position. Then you can just pull the string out of the way. Hope that helps somebody along the way.

What pin??lol

Watch to complete video, I explain where it is

over 100 years making cars and Ford can't find a simpler way to open it than that.?. you've got to be kidding me..actually there is no room behind my seat.and I cannot access the switch mine's a ordered vehicle, so I'm thinking maybe there is no access. if anyone has any thought I'd love to hear them..it seems the seat is all the way against the wall and there is no extra room behind the seat at the bottom
