Seat Wont Lock

The seat on the passenger side will not lock into place. It moves back and forth. I looked under the seat and I saw this metal line. It looks like it either came unhooked or is broken. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Follow the wire to the latch on the other side. It should be connected to the handle/latch mechanism. From the looks of the slack you have I will assume it's not connected. Straighten the wire out and re-connect it....

I went to Ace hardware and got me new springs for both ends and a thicker wire, almost a rod, and bent it at both ends. Works pretty good.

but if the line is not hooked up, it would not unlock. It would be stuck in place. The pas side latch must not be locking

I had a look at the and connected it to the spring. It has been mangled pretty good by the previous owner. Can someone post a pic of what it supposed to look like so maybe I can twist it back?

Thanks
