Guest Lorryb Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I have a 91 Legacy AWD wagon. Does anyone know if the rear bench can be flipped forward so that when you drop the seat backs the whole bed is level? I sorta think my old 85 GL used to do that but I can't find a release to allow the bench to tip forward. Is that because it doesn't? or because the release is hidden?

Guest 97svx Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 There may be a pull handle that got buried under the seat. Fish around at the point where the back meets the bottom cushion with your finger to find it. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest edrach Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 The pull loop is in the center of the rear seat and down in the corner between the seat cushion and seatback. Long, pre-hensile fingers should be able to fish it out. Then there is a button release at each seatback that should allow you to drop it forward.

Guest Lorryb Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I don't have long prehensile fingers, I got little short fat ones. I've poked around but can't seem to find the strap. Are you sure it exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Legacy777 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 You guys sure the bottom cushion folds up like on the 80's subies? I know on the sedans with fold down seats, the bottom cushion doesn't fold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Legacy777 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 lorry, You can look at the cushion itself. Look at the front part of the cushion where it meets the bottom portion of the car (bad explanation I know.) Look and see if you see hinges of some kind. If you just see a loop that comes down with a bolt through it, the bottom cushion does not fold at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikesoob7 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I've got the same car, the seat definitely folds forward. If the pull-strap is gone the clip that it pulls should still be there. I've had to grab that a few times when the strap fell into the crack. Just jam your hand in and dig around. If you can't do it get someone with smaller hands to give it a try. The clip pulls up towards the ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lorryb Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Eureka - USMB strikes again... thanks for the help, found the strap (only cost me a little bit of skin), after I took the rear seat headrests off the seats folder flatter than a pancake. Packing the car for a road trip will be sooo much easier........ Off to the left coast with my bride! (First road trip sans enfant in 18 years) Yahoooo Take Care.........Lorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
