The "Magic Seat" ??

Well, I'm back in the pickle barrel again. If somehow the Magic Seat gets dropped into the well without the pull strap visible after the drop, just how in the billy-hell do you get the blasted thing up and out of the well again! We've tried just pulling up on the plastic finger handle: no dice. We've tried heaving from both sides of the seat back: no dice. It comes up a little, then hangs up on something. It seems the actual seatback at the bottom of the package is catching on something. What?

I mean, guys, two new transmissions, a second car, and now back 20 miles to a dealer to pull up a seat? I'm beginning to feel like a total idiot. Am I?

groupset,

I like the idea of removing the LATCH bracket. We a set of marks from the one time that I put the seat in the hole.

Merpsmom,

I had a similar experience wit the seat being stuck. I believe that the reason my was stuck was that we had a golf umbrella in the hole on the side closest to the seat. I believe that every time I tried to pull the seat up it was binding on the umbrella against the floor. After 10-15 minutes, and a little calming break, the seat seemed to just come up. I did have the advantage of having the lift strap though. Good luck!
