Can fold the rear seat in the Avant - Help a dummy please!

Driving me crazy, the passenger side rear seat folds fine, but the Drivers side seems to be attached to the load cover.

When I pull the lever, the little red flag comes up, but its as if its screwed to the load cover.

How do you fold it forward?

You have to put them both down if you want to put the drivers side down. If you then want just the drivers side down you can slide the load cover off of the seat sideways out of the rear drivers door.

Drivers side is quite weighty with the load cover on the back of it, needs a good pull.

Thanks, got them folded down ok.

Couldn't remove the load cover though!

Will try again at the weekend.

If it's never been out it will be stiff mate, I had to give mine a good shove from the passenger side to get it to move over.
