07-14 Cadillac Escalade mid row seat issue explained

2007 - 2014 Cadillac Escalade rear passenger seat or mid row seat not retracting. The backrest stays locked preventing it from going up. In this video I explain the most common issue and the resolution.

This video is an absolute godsend. I had the same issue on my 2014 Tahoe. Fixed it with no problems.

2010 Tahoe Rear seat similar issue. That joint was rusted. Been searching for the now simple fix for months.

Having a similar issue except my latches will not engage when the seat is pushed down. I think lubricating the locking mechanism will work as well.

I have a question, where can you find the plastic pieces on the middle row seats

[@gabriellesmalls153]

my seat won’t sit up like that at all..n i have a 07 cadillac escalade. How do I get it to pull foward like that if the latch is not working?

[@morecowbell235]

I don't have captains chairs but one of my 2nd row split bench seats is doing the same thing.
Hoping this is the fix
