The 3rd row seats in my Gen3 doesnt lock properly on the floor catches when I try to use it so it flips back as soon as some weight is put on the back side by the kids.
Any suggestions to fix/check this ?
Hi Neil,
Haven't had this issue, but perhaps try following the seat removal process, maybe something sticky on the mechanism and see if it locks, should make a good click when it clips into the floor.
Have you also checked for any obstructions in the mechanism or a carpet perhaps getting in the way?
Check this link for removal process, this may help, let us know if it resolves.....or not

Sounds like the cable operating the lock mechanism needs adjusting. Had a similar problem where I couldn't get mine unlocked using the lever in the middle of the 3rd seat at the back. When the seat is folded as for storage in the bin, the two lock mechanisms are accessable. Remove the screw/s in the plastic housing and carefully prise the two halves apart. Now you have access to the cable. Adjust the cable so that the lock operates properly, both locking and unlocking. Then it is as easy as putting it al back together again. Using a screwdriver and a small spanner (No 8, I think) this should not take more than 15 minutes.
I hope this helps.

Thx,
only have her for 2 days now so I'm still a bit dumb around her, will check it out better over weekend, just wanted to test it, the mechanism works but it just doesnt lock properly, maybe some dirt in the way as you say, previous owner didnt use it but did remove it at some time so might also not have put it back properly..
