Question Re: Barracuda ('68) Rear Folding Seat

Do you hold the latch lever "open" when putting back seat into position? Maybe the cam(circled in blue on drivers side) is the issue?
When I put our seat back in position I always hold lever open to make it easier.
Thanks for your reply, yes I move the release lever to fold down. I'm not sure moving the lever is necessary to return the seats to upright, but I tried it both ways, the seat will move part of the way up but the issue is that the cam is out of alignment and hits other body metal
