Re: Re:seat catch failure



What Eric said should work. If you look at the lock mechanism from
underneath (bags off), you will see that the rear side has a sheet metal
covering. You can probably just pry on it with a finger and see if it is the
problem. Then a little relaxation of the plate....worked on mine.
