This procedure modifies the LH 2nd row seatback to expose the hidden latch strikers. These strikers allow the 3rd row seatback to latch to the 2nd row seatback when the 3rd row seat is in the upright position.

Installation

  1. Press down along the carpet and upholstery seam below the center headrest to locate the 2 hidden cavities that contain the seat latch strikers. If necessary, trace the outline of the cavities with chalk as a guideline.

    Note
    The cut edges do not need to be perfect; they will be covered by trim bezels in a later step.
  3. Press down between the cut sections to locate the 2 horizontal 20 mm cavities at the center of the seat back, then cut the carpet and upholstery around the two cavities.
  4. To maintain fabric integrity and prevent fraying, apply a few drops of instant-bonding adhesive to the exposed fabric threads at the 4 areas where the carpet touches the upholstery.
  5. Install the lower 2nd row seat back bezel.
  6. Install the upper 2nd row seat back bezel. Make sure that the bezel fits against the seat back frame and snaps onto the strikers.
