Folding seat query - novice Bongo owner!

Hello - have just bought a 2004 Bongo Friendee and can't work out how to put the seats flat! I have worked out the back ones, but not the middles ones in the back. Looks as though they should move forward a another 20 cm on the track but can't work out how to do this..any help appreciated. I have ordered a manual but would really like to know...driving me nuts! Thanks

Hi
If you're near Nailsea I'll show you, otherwise there's a second lever, lower down than the one to tilt the seat backs forwards.
Lift them up and push the seat back downwards.
As for the forward travel, maybe something stuck in the track?

Hi
On the floor drivers side there is another Lever at the base of the seat, on the sliding track that you need to operate which will allow the seat to travel further forward

Hello all - well nothing seems to have worked, still 10-20cms short of being at the very front of the track. Feels as though something is stopping it on the passenger side. Does anyone know what this is or if it is likely to have anything to do with it?

Hmm, not sure.
I'd be tempted to take the seat out and remove the trim covering the rails to take a look.
Get a pal to help, the middle seat is heavy. Really heavy.

Looks like it Geoff but it's usually at the rear of the slider to stop the rear seat hitting the rear window. Maybe someone moved it, try hook / lifting it out, it lays in the bottom of the runner
